Most scholarships are NOT taxable. If part of your tuition was paid for by a scholarship, it is not taxable. However, if your scholarship or fellowship provided housing, travel, or funds for research you may need to pay taxes on part of your scholarship. You can find the details here. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf
