Why do I need a Schedule C Form 1040 for 1099-MISC paid by my university?

Hi,

I am a grad student who received a Form 1099-MISC for a fellowship I earned. My university provided this form. I entered the information as suggested here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/enter-1099-misc... 

 

But running the Smart Check required me to complete a Schedule C. I am unsure how to proceed, because I would not say I am a business.

Thank you for your guidance
