Grants and scholarships are the same thins, for tax purposes. The box 1 amount includes all tuition and fees paid, regardless of the source of the money (out of your pocket or grants). It does not include room and board or other non qualified expenses.
What makes you think you should be getting a refund? Those numbers, alone, say you do not qualify for a tuition credit.
There's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. You usually must have actually paid tuition, not had it paid by scholarships & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.
You cannot claim a credit if you are, or can be, claimed as a dependent by someone else.
