In order to claim any type of education credit or deduction on your tax return, the person for whom the qualifying education expenses were paid must be claimed as a dependent on your return.

Qualifying education expenses typically don't include room & board, but do include tuition, books, & other costs related to school. You can review the qualifications here: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/education-credits-aotc-llc
