No, this doesn't count as earned income for the question "Did you provide over half of your own support with earned income during 2025? You can answer this question "yes" as a result.
This is mentioned in Publication 501, which mentions "A scholarship received by a child who is a student isn't taken into account in determining whether the child provided more than half of his or her own support". This is mentioned in the Qualifying Child section under a subheading titled Support Test.
