scholarship income and dependency test

I am a fulltime student.    Most of my expenses are covered by scholarship.  I have earned income of  $1400 and  taxable scholarship income of $6,000.    I am wondering if I still pass the dependency test if 1400 plus 6000 exceeds half my living expenses.  Does the scholarship income count? 

I believe I would be better off filing as 'not dependent on someone else'.    Would it make me eligible for Covid stimulus?
