How do I enter my student loan 1099-MISC?

It's not income; I don't really know why i got it. Now I'm on a tirade of questions about what kind of income this is.

Student loan payments are not entered on a tax return.  Interest paid on a student loan is reported on a tax return using Form 1098-E.

 

Why did you receive a Form 1099-MISC?  Who is the Payer?

I hate to join the tirade of questions but what is this for?  A 1099-MISC isn't issued for money that you have to pay back.  It's issued for money that is paid or given to you.  Is this a grant or a scholarship?
