Whoever claims the student claims the education credit.
If the student is a dependent, but the taxpayer that could claim the student doesn't claim the student, the student can enter the 1098-T and get the non-refundable part of an education credit if otherwise eligible.
This is done in TurboTax by the parents not claiming the student and the student selecting "Yes" to "Someone else can claim me" and "NO" to "Someone else will claim me".
