As a student studying grad school abroad, do I qualify for any tax breaks?

As the topic says, I'm studying grad school in Taiwan. It's a great program with a good history, but as it's not an American institution, it doesn't have a federal tax ID. I inputted all my information into TurboTax and the program informed me that I'm not eligible for any breaks for exactly this reason- no ID, no help.

 

However, reading around on the internet, it seems I should still be able to qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit, right? Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.
