Scholarship paid for fall and spring but i paid for summer school. Why can i not deduct that?

Academic scholarship was $15,500. Fall and Spring tuition were $14500. I got the 1098-T for that.

Summer school was $3500. I didn't receive a 1098-T for summer. I added it to the sum that I and the scholarship paid and it ended up being around $18000.

TurboTax says I can't deduct because the scholarship was more than the tuition. That is clearly not the case since I'm out a net total of $2500 that of the original $3500 I thought I could claim.

Can someone explain why I can't get the deduction?
