You only get a tax credit when you spend your money that has been taxed. Since you did not spend your money, there is no tax credit.
The IRS states:
Expenses Cannot Be Paid with Tax-Free Funds
You cannot claim a credit for education expenses paid with tax-free funds. You must reduce the amount of expenses paid with tax-free grants, scholarships and fellowships and other tax-free education help.
