Was your stipend more than the amount in the 1099?
No it's equal.
Or, maybe the difference between box 5 and box 1 of the 1098 is a student health fee or insurance, paid by the school that is separate from the stipend?
This is accurate, my student health insurance is paid for with the scholarship.
Another thing I should mention is that from January to June I was on a scholarship and then from, July to December I was on a government fellowship. This information may also help clarify my situation.
