Yes, any stipend income that is not used for Education Expenses is taxable income, whether reported on a W-2 or 1099-Misc or not either one.
Enter her W-2 in the appropriate section. Enter her Education Expenses. Books that are not required are not deductible, however.
If she received a 1099-Misc for her stipend, enter it as shown. Assume that the university correctly subtracted what is considered wages from what is considered stipend.
Whatever amount is not used for Education Expenses will be taxed as 'Other Income'.

Travel is not a qualified educational expense, for a tuition credit or deduction or for reducing the taxable part of a scholarship or stipend
