a college student ( Green card holder) has unearned income and required to file form 1040. His parents, nonresident alien, paid his college tuition. In this situation, does the college student allow to take education credit?

Maybe. He can't be claimed as a dependent on his parents' return because either they don't file or if they file 1040NR there is no dependent exemption.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
