Is this something I need to claim?

It depends.

 

You may be entitled to an education credit.  The school should issue you a Form 1098-T.  

 

If you receive this form, you will be able to enter the information from this form into TurboTax.

 

To enter your 1098-T information:

  1.  Go to the Federal section of the program
  2.  Select "Deductions & Credits"
  3.  Select "Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)" and click start

Continue through the screens and answer the questions as applicable. TurboTax will determine which credit you qualify for based upon your answers. 

 

I have attached a link showing you the different education credits/deductions which are available.
