If you actually paid the tuition in January for the spring semester, you can enter it under other expenses paid to the college. If you claimed it on your 2018 return, you will not be able to claim it on 2019.
Scholarships can be taxable income, you are looking at some income for 2019. Whether it is a little or a lot is the question depending on your 2018 return. What did you claim?
If you did not file the spring semester on your 2018 return, you can claim it on 2019.
You have two options for the scholarship. You can claim it went to room and board and other college expenses besides tuition.Then use your tuition money to create the education credit UNLESS you have already used it 4 times, which is the maximum. If you used it your freshmen semester, you will not qualify.
Option 2: subtract the tuition from the scholarship and count just that part as income, no education credit.
