QUALIFIED EXPENSES: The IRS defines qualified higher education expenses as any tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution that were paid from Jan 1 to December 31 of the tax year. The 1098T issued by the Davis Tech only reports Tuition and Fees paid to the College.
www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc313.html
NON-QUALIFIED EXPENSES: The Davis Technical College counts as non-qualified expenses student activities, courses for which no academic credit is offered, and any miscellaneous service charges.
An eligible taxpayer who incurred the cost of the qualified tuition payments may claim them. An eligible taxpayer may be the student or, if the student is a dependent for federal income tax purposes, the person (e.g., parent) claiming the student as a dependent. A student who is a dependent cannot claim the tax credits or deduction on his or her own tax return.
The College cannot advise students on the preparation of their tax return. Information for calculating a credit or deduction can be found in IRS Publication 970.

No, as of Dec 14, 2020 the IRS has instructed educational institutions to not report CARES Act grant disbursements on the 1098-T form. These emergency grants are qualified disaster relief payments. As such, they do not count towards the student's gross income and students may not claim deductions for these amounts.
