Since you are not claimed as a dependent, it can go either place (line 1 of form 1040 with the SCH notation or line 8 of Schedule 1, other income). Either way it is taxed as ordinary income (not earned income).
Q. If I just enter my 1098-T information under Deductions and Credits, is that sufficient?
A. Yes, that puts in on line 1 o form 1040.
Q. There is a question that asks: 'How much of the $x received in scholarships, fellowships, grants, or other aid was not designated for 2019 expenses?'.
A. Answer no. that question is for when the scholarship year doesn't match the expenses year. The next screen will ask how much was used for room & board. Put the Box5-Box1 amount there. That sufficient for reporting that income.
Q. Do I also need to go down to Other Income and report that value as 'Other Taxable Income', as suggested by KathrynG3?
A. No. That is "instead of" not "in addition to"
