Can I claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit if my entire college tuition was paid by scholarships/grants? If not, is there any Ed Tax Credit I could qualify for?

No, if all of your education expenses were paid for by-tax free assistance, you would not be eligible for any education credits.

Additionally, if you received more tax free assistance, such as scholarships or grants, than what was paid in education expenses, you may need to claim those funds as income.
