Are federal student loans, tuition waivers and pell grants considered "earned income?"I want to know if it would allow me to quality for the American Opportunity Credit.

I want to know if any of the following are considered "earned income" since I used all of them combined for tuition, fees, books/supplies, housing, and all other living expenses:

Federal subsidized loans
Federal Unsubsidized Loans
Pell Grant
Tuition Waiver

I want to know if it would allow me to qualify for the American Opportunity credit.
