The IRS considers anything on a form 1099-NEC to be self employment income. Enter the 1099 income, at 1099-MISC and Other Common income / income from a 1099-NEC . TurboTax (TT) will complete Schedule C for you and allow you to deduct any expenses associated with this income. You'll also have to pay self employment tax (social security & Medicare) on any profits greater than $432. If you try reporting 1099-NEC income as anything else, you chances of hearing from the IRS are higher. But, if it was a one time thing, it's easier to prove.
That said, scholarships are not reported on a 1099-NEC or even a 1099-MISC. What are the circumstances of you receiving this "scholarship". Who did you get it from and why did you get it? Was the money paid to you or to the school? If to the school, was it also reported in box 5 of your 1098-T?
