My wife moved from Bolivia to the US in May, and we got married in July. She doesn't have a job and is here on a tourism visa while her change of status through marriage for her residency is pending. Should I file my taxes as married, and can I claim her as a dependent? If she doesn't have a Social Security Number (SSN), what should I do?

As a 23-year-old college senior claimed on parents' tax return, I received a merit-based scholarship that did not specify its tax status or that it must be used for tuition and fees. The scholarship uses the term 'cash award' and requires me to meet university obligations before any extra cash is disbursed. I am unsure if this scholarship should be counted as income and if my parents can claim the related expenses. What specific IRS code section deals with this issue?
