You do qualify for the stimulus check if you answer NO to the Can anyone claim me? question. And it sounds like you do. If you were only a part time student in Jan-May 2021 - you do not mark the full-time student box. As a part-time student making over $4300 in 2021 - your parents cannot claim you.
Also, you can take your Saver's Credit - you are disqualified from taking the credit if you are a FULL-TIME student during the tax year. Part-time students are eligible. Go back through that section and make sure you get that credit as well as the Recovery Rebate Credit. Your 1098-T, if issued, would show your enrollment status. Box 8, if checked, says you were at least half-time which allows you to take the AOTC, but half-time does not qualify you as a dependent of your parents or disqualify you from taking the Saver's Credit.
Whether or not you answer the I supported myself by working with earned income question, yes or no - - - that depends on if you paid over half of your support with the money you earned from your job. Add up all your expenses and if your earned income is over half of that total for the year, you may be able to take the refundable and nonrefundable portions of the AOTC education credit. See that link for the worksheet.
If you were over 19 and not a full time student at all in 2021 and made over $4300 - only you can claim you.
