After you file

Yes, as long as you were a student in the year you are amending for.

Be advised here are two education credits: American Opportunity credit (AOC) and Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC).  The AOC is more generous but is not available to grad students. The earned income rule for the refundable portion of the AOC is applicable, for students under 24, even if you cannot be claimed as a dependent.
