I am an international graduate student and my university dint send me 1098T form. I said no for whether u received 1098T and will file tax. So will I get the benefit?

I have paid 30,000$ fees in 2016 and my university didn't send me 1098T form. I am filing tax through turbo tax and in the section did you receive 1098T form, I have answered NO and will file the tax. For this I have received 1000$ benefit under my federal tax section. So will I receive that benefit without taking the 1098T form? As the deadline is over to receive 1098T, is there any other way to get that benefit?
