If a portion of a scholarship is taxable, on the federal return, it also taxable by the student's state of residence. It is not taxed by the state where the school is located.

 

On the other hand, if the student had a job at the school, those wages would be taxed by both states. The resident state would grant a credit for the tax paid to the work state.
