what box is the money shown in on the 1099MISC?  Awards should be shown in Box 3.

Amount is shown in box 3 but program still tries to issue a Schedule C as business income

You must be answering the follow up questions incorrectly then.

Ive got these instructions from last year, they should be similar for this years software.

Federal taxes Tab > Other Uncommon Income >1099MISC > Fill in the payer name & ID number, enter the money in Box 3 > Continue> Describe the reason "LOSAP Award" > Continue> None of These Apply > Continue > No it didn't involve work like my main job > Continue > I got it in 2017 > Continue > No it didn't involve an intent to earn money > Continue > Do You have Another 1099MISC?  If not choose NO and you should be done and the income will appear on Line 21.

I tried this several times and still got a flag. What finally worked was opening the 1099-MISC in the Forms menu and adding an X next to "Other" in Box 3 (Other income). It was not a problem in previous years making me think there is a glitch in this year's version of TurboTax.

If youre using the Download/CD version, that much easier to maneuver around in.
The instructions above were for the Online version of the software...it doesn't have Forms Mode.
