Education
If the amount of the grants exceed qualified educational expenses actually paid for, then you will have taxable income in which case the student will have to claim it on his/her return.
If the excess plus any additional income he earned in 2017 is less than his Standard Deduction (assuming earned income was from a W-2) of $6,350, he will not be required to file a return)
