Do I have to include a Tribal Grant in my tax return?

I receive a Tribal Award Grant from my tribe as well as incentive grants for doing well in school. All of this comes out of tribal funds. Is this taxable income? I know scholarships are not taxable - is a grant any different?

Non-tribal scholarship/grants that are not used for qualified education expenses are taxable income. However, tribal education assistance is not taxable and not reported on your tax return. If you receive a 1098T and it includes both tribal and non-tribal education benefits you should only report the non-tribal assistance.

Here is a link with more information.
