If you can prove the scholarship in Box 5 went to pay tuition, you needn't report the 1098-T however I would caution that you might need to look at prior years and make sure no education credit was taken for expenses that were covered by a scholarship that posted the following year.
In other words, did you take a credit in 2023 for expenses that this 2024 scholarship paid?
Even if that did happen, you might have had enough expenses in the prior year that the "refunded scholarship" does not matter. The American Opportunity Tax Credit maxes out with 4,000 expenses.
