I received a scholarship in 2018 that was used to pay tuition for the Spring 2019 semester. The grant was reported as payment in box 1 and in box 5 on my 2018 1098-T. Box 7 was checked to notate that it was for the Spring of 2019. Do I need to file this in my 2019 tax return since that was the year when the charges were incurred?

No, if the scholarship and the tuition were both reported in 2018 for the first part of 2019, you do not have to report it in 2019.
