EIC for 1099-MISC Scholarship

We are married with 3 children filing taxes jointly. One of us is in graduate school and receives a full tuition scholarship (1098-T) while the other works part time (total yearly income <$5,000). We receive an additional $7,000 scholarship for room and board, which as we understand is a taxable scholarship. The school reports this scholarship on a 1099-MISC. How do we report this? Does the 1099-MISC apply for the Earned Income Credit?
