Do I qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit as a graduate student/teaching assistant, whose university pays for my tuition? I receive a 1098-T with Boxes 1 & 5 filled.

Does the university technically count as a qualified third party who pays my tuition, so that I can claim this credit? What is tax free educational assistance - are my scholarships in Box 5 that?
