You must account for them but they may not be taxable. United States Income Tax Treaties has many treaties that cover students. If your income is covered by a treaty, see another post of mine here.

 

They could both be regular income. See Topic no. 421, Scholarships, fellowship grants,

  • If you have a 1098-T, you can add the scholarships in there. See more here.
  • If you do not have a 1098-T,  see this post of mine.
