I gave the University $10,000 for my grandson"s tuition. He did not work last year. Can he claim a tax credit

His parents claimed him as a dependent on their return, but make too much to get a credit

If your grandson is claimed as a dependent by his parents, only his parents can claim his education expenses. He cannot.

And you can't claim it either.
