If you attend the college or university full-time for 5 out of 12 months in a given year, you are considered a full-time student. So if you attended January through May 2016, and took the year from June, 2016 through June 2017, and plan on resuming in July-August 2017, you would be considered a full-time student for both 2016 and 2017.
If you received a scholarship and paid tuition in 2016, you should have received a 1098-T. You would include the 1098-T on your 2016 tax return and let Turbotax figure out any taxable income and/or education credit that you would be receiving for the year.
