I was required to participate in a semester-long study
abroad program for my college degree. The total cost for the study abroad
program was $9,000. Two thirds of the funding came from scholarships, but I
paid over $3,000 of my own money. The scholarship funds are shown on my 1098-T.
The money I paid is not on the 1098-T. Can I deduct the $3,000+ as an educational
expense? If so, would this be recorded as “Other Educational Expenses?”
