Student received a full scholarship and not eligible to receive form 1098-T. Can student claim education credits?

Student (freshman undergraduate) received scholarships that covered tax free expenses (tuition, fees..) and taxable expenses (room, board, insurance) . The university  stated that "student not eligible to receive form 1098-T".  Can student (or parent) still claim any education credits? (AOTC or Life Learning Credit)  without a form 1098-T and how can scholarships be reported to maximize education credits?                                                                   If student files income tax return separately from parents (stating that student can be claimed as dependent on parent's form) can student use the standard deduction?
