Claiming Lifetime Learning Credit with partial employer tuition reimbursement

Hello, 

 

I received $5250 in tuition reimbursement from my employer. I paid $6800 in tuition, so I paid 6800-5250=1550 out of pocket. 

 

Since I paid $1550 out of pocket, can I claim the lifetime learning credit on that $1550? Would I just put $1550 when it asks how much I paid in educational expenses? 

 

Thank you!
