I won a research competition for 2,000$ that is being split between 4 people, but the check was made out to just me. How do I report that if I am a full-time student?

It was a research competition conducted by a Private university and I am unsure how to report my earnings.

Was that your only income?  Did you get a tax form reporting that award, if so what form?

you and your colleagues each had income of $500.
