Huh?
For calculation of the educational credits, the credit is based on the amount of tuition that was NOT paid by scholarships. So unless the scholarships are applied to non-tuition (which is often what you want to do), you (or in this case, the program) need to subtract Box 5 from Box 1 to determine that amount of tuition that is eligible.
As was pointed out in the other thread, Box 1 should include all tuition (including the tuition that was paid by scholarships).
