Are grants or scholarships taxable?

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 states that grant assistance is taxable income to the extent that it exceeds tuition, required education fees, and course-related expenses. Course-related expenses are those for books, supplies, and equipment required for your courses.
For non-resident aliens, it is required to withhold federal income tax on grants received in excess of the expenses described above.
