Can a student claim the American Opportunity if parents paid tuition?

The student is over 24 and cannot be claimed as dependent.  However, their parent has paid their tuition for 2020.  Can the student claim the American Opportunity credit for 2020?  They have met all of the other eligibility for the credit.

 

Thanks.

    Yes.  The fact that the parents paid does not matter
