Are scholarships and grants counted in household income for the Michigan homestead property tax credit?

About half of the scholarship money went directly to the school for tuition. I used the rest for room and board.

Yes, scholarships are included in the Michigan Total Household Resources (income). To qualify, your total household resources are $60,000 or less (part year residents must annualize total household resources to determine if a credit reduction applies).

Here is the Michigan Checklist:
