1099-NEC for Student Internship

Hello,

My son did a 10 week internship at a University and received a 1099-NEC for the stipend.

TT asks what type of Income is on your 1099-NEC ? and gives this 6 options

Self Employment income;

Farm;

Hobby;

Lawsuit settlement;

Medicaid payments;

Income that should be reported on a W-2;

If I select Self Employment, his taxes go up significantly as he owes Self employment tax.

If I don't any option, and proceed, TT does not include this stipend as Income anymore.

How to handle this situation since none of the 6 options matches correctly to his internship stipend earning ?

Thanks
