I entered it as a 1099-MISC without it counting as self-employment income: I entered the AmeriCorps Education Award as a 1099-MISC into TurboTax (Home & Business download), and selected "no" when asked "Does the AmeriCorps Education Award involve work like my main job?" and selected "no" again when asked "Did the AmeriCorps Education Award involve an intent to earn money?" It showed up under "other income" on Schedule 1, which is where the IRS said it should be. (When I entered the 1099-MISC, it also asked for a brief description, and I wrote "AmeriCorps Education Award.")
I see you posted this in February; I hope you got an answer or figured it out!
