If the scholarship money is the only income received by the year, it is not reported because it doesn't exceed the filing threshold for the year. In 2023, the federal filing threshold for your child is $13,400, which includes $13000 plus $400. Your dependent does not need to file.
Since the federal AGI is zero, this income is not taxable in California either.
