That is correct. If you are claiming him as a dependent, you as his parent will report the 1098-T to claim the education credit.
If his income is below the filing threshold attached before, he does not need to file.
If as you are starting he had withholdings on his earnings from his part-time job, he can file a return to potentially get a refund for any withholdings made.
If he does file his own return, he will need to report the scholarship income which is considered taxable on his return.
