"You do not enter any of the employer's reimbursement as it is non-reportable. If the scholarship covered tuition only, then you do not need to report that either. Neither is income based on what you have listed above".
That's a wrong statement.
You said "The scholarship plus total reimbursement was around $1,500 more than the total tuition". That means you got $1500 that did not pay for qualified educational expenses. You have about $1500 of taxable income (You may reduce the $1500 by any other qualified expenses; usually books). It doesn't matter whether you choose to declare $1500 of the scholarship or $1500 of the reimbursement, as the taxable income. You have taxable income because of the overlap in payments.
