It depends. If the scholarship was not included in 2023, then it must be included in 2024. Usually, we find the scholarships and tuition get confused through the 4 years and graduates end up paying the difference. You may have added the scholarships in 2023 to offset the income. The IRS has a great brochure that explains how scholarships and tax credits interact.
You may need to review all the college years to figure out which scholarships were claimed against which tuition on what years. Tuition paid must stay with the year while scholarships will sometimes end up in the wrong year. At the end, it has to all be accounted for. You can only claim the education credit 4 times for AOTC and then it goes to LLC.
