American opportunity Credit

I am a full time student and I made about 4300 dollars in 2020 working part time jobs while in school.  My parents filing joint return claiming me as a dependent won't qualify for AOC as  their AGI is above the limit.  Will I be able to file my own return not being claimed as a dependent and be eligible for this credit.  Also will that make me eligible for the coming stimulus payment?  Thanks  a lot for the time and advise.
