It will depend on whether the financial aid check is considered qualified or non qualified to be considered income. If this financial aid was from the CARES ACT then this applies from the Tax Book:
"Emergency financial aid grants under the CARES Act. Emergency financial aid grants under the CARES Act for unexpected expenses, unmet financial need, or expenses related to the disruption of campus operations on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, are not includible in gross income. Because the grant is not
includible in gross income, no deduction or credit for expenses paid with the grant, including the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit, is allowed."
