American Opportunity Tax Credit - College to MS1 Refundable?

[ERDOC555]

Can you take the American Opportunity Tax Credit for $2500 and get $1000 refunded back assuming neither parent claims you?

I'm not sure if I missed something and would be ineligible. Thanks in advance for any help!

That's what I did when I was a first-year dental student, it works. Remember also you are filing as independent since you are a grad student.
