Generally, no, grad school scholarships are not considered taxable income. However, this is only true if you are enrolled at an eligible college, in a program, and are using the funds for school-related expenses. These expenses include but are not limited to tuition, textbooks, parking fees, and lab fees. If it is found out that you have used scholarship funds for expenses unrelated to your degree or college expenses, then these funds may be considered taxable income. Check the description and other fine print of the scholarships you apply for to see if there is a requirement for how the awarded funds are used.
Fellowships, scholarships, federal grants, and federal student loans are the easiest way to afford grad school. These financial aid opportunities often offer the most money, so they'll have the most significant impact on your grad school tuition costs. Apply to a mix of fellowships, assistantships, scholarships, and federal or privately funded research grants to afford grad school.
