I paid portions of my grandson's college tuition and received a 1098T. I did not claim him as a dependent, can I claim the amount on the 1098T

No, in order to claim the education credits, he must be claimed as your dependent.

Whoever does claim him as a dependent may count the money you paid, when calculating their tuition credit or deduction.
