The bottom line is there is no legal stimulus money for college students.

 

Parent do not get stimulus for dependents over 16. Any student who can be a dependent (whether actually claimed as a dependent or not) is not eligible for the stimulus on his own tax return.

 

Students who finished college in 2020 may or may not be eligible, depending on application of the dependent rules.
