    Lifetime learning credit
    I'm on a J1 scholar visa and I'm doing research in life sciences.
    I started taking classes at NYU for a professional certificate in translation (to become a scientific translator) as an alternative option to an academic career.
    Would I be eligible for the lifetime learning credit?

    No, nonresidents do not get education credit.

    If you are a resident alien, then you can claim the Lifetime Learning Credit.
