Yes, it is reported on your tax return, not your parents' tax return.

However, in most cases, if your total income (including the taxable scholarship) is less than $6300, you are not required to file a tax return.

In the event you had self employment income of over $400, or had more than $350 of other non-earned income (interest, dividends, capital gains), that could require you to file a tax return, even if your total income is under $6300.
