If she did not pay more than half of her support in 2020 and you provided more than half of her support, then you can claim her as a dependent.
If you claim her as a dependent then only you can claim her education credits, even if you are disqualified by your income.
If you can claim her but do not actually claim her as a dependent, then on her own tax return, she can claim the non-refundable portion of the American Opportunity tax credit. and not the refundable portion. However, as her income is below the standard deduction of $12,400, she has no taxable income, and the non-refundable portion of the AOTC gives no tax benefit.
