Maybe. Whether he qualifies for the American Opportunity Credit depends on much he (or you) paid out-of-pocket for Education Expenses.
If he has a 1098-T that has a larger amount in Box 1 (Tuition) than in Box 5 (Scholarships), he may qualify for a credit.
However, if he only earned $2,300, did he support himself? If not, he is still your dependent and you can add his Education Expenses to your return, which will probably be more beneficial anyway.
