If my tuition is paid from a research project that funds me, and not from my stipend (which is reported in W-2) can I get LLC? 1098-T box 2 is $14000 and Box 5 is $300.

I'm a resident alien, and I'm studying PhD with research assistant ship, which is paid by a project that my adivor has. That means my advisor pays me stipend, which I get a W-2 for. But also pays my tuition from the same project. I got a 1098-T, which shoes $14000 in Box 2 and $300 in box 5. Can I use the LLC? I don not pay from my pocket, but as I got the 1098-T can we say that the project is paying me my W-2+$(14000-300), but the school automatically deducts the tuition and pay me the rest?
