Q. but it still shows $23k for wages and salaries in the summary, clearly including the scholarship amount. Is that correct? 

A. I don't have a clear picture of her info to answer that.  But from what you describe ("scholarship for full tuition, plus an extra $1000"), it would be highly unusual for her not to have some  taxable scholarship, if you are claiming the tuition credit.  Based on that limited info, she should have $4000 of taxable scholarship.  $4000 being the amount of tuition you need to claim to get the max credit.
