19 year old with non citizen parents and college scholarships. Do I need to file?

 I turned 19 in nov 2024. My parents are Not US citizens and live overseas, but I am an US citizen. My parents can't file US taxes.

I made $3,000 from august to december 31, 2024, working on student jobs at the university. I was awarded a couple of university scholarships worth $16,000 per year and additional pell and state grants. I have my w2 and 1098T. 

 

Do I need to mandatorily file 1040 due to my scholarships and grants? What else do I need to file, other than state tax forms? My parents paid about $5,000 of my fees.
