After you file

There is the option for the dependent student to claim the non-refundable portion of the credit, but as stated, it may not benefit you nor the student. 

You didn't tell us the numbers on the 1098-T, so it is not clear if there is an education credit available.

Scholarship income is NOT unearned income, so if the student is subject to the Kiddie Tax, entering the 1098-T on the students return should not matter for that tax.
