Q. Do we input 1098-T on our return or hers?

A. Yours.

 

The tuition credit goes with the student's dependency. So, if she is your dependent, you enter the 1098-T, on your return, to claim the tuition credit.

 

However, if some of her scholarships are taxable, she will need to claim that income on her return.  Entering the 1098-T, on her return makes that reporting easier. So, it's possible that both parent and student will need to enter the 1098-T, possibly with adjustments.
