There are two higher education credits.
Hope scholarship credit: Credit of up to $1,500 per student for each of the first two years of post-secondary education. Allows a 100% credit of the first $1,000 of qualified tuition expenses and a 50% credit of the second $1,000 of tuition expenses.
Lifetime learning credit: Equal to 20% of the amount of tuition paid by a taxpayer and is available for the first $10,000.
Reduced by the amount of scholarships received. If you have more questions about this post up and I can answer them for you. You can only take one a year, and the hope you can only take twice. Lifetime you can take forever.
