Education

Good afternoon!  I have a question related to this matter.  I am doing a graduate fellowship with a company, which means I am working for them part time to fulfill some of the credits of my master's degree.  As part of this fellowship, the company is paying for my tuition.  The amount they paid is included in box 12 on my 1098-T.  They paid the money directly to the school.  It was never actually given to me.  Does that mean it is considered "tax free employer tuition assistance"?  Thanks!
