Unless a scholarship is restricted to paying tuition (Pell grants are not restricted) you are free to allocate your qualified educational expenses (QEE)(tuition, fees, books and course materials including a computer) any way you want at tax time. You allocate your expenses to the tax credit or to the scholarships (to keep some of it tax free). You don't have to isolate/allocate to actual out of pocket payments. This assumes you don't have a 529 plan distribution also needing allocated expenses.
If you need help doing so, provide actual numbers. But, simply allocating $4000 QEE to the credit is all that is usually needed.
