AFE considered my wife ineligible for bursary during part of 2017, so we paid them back the amount received in 2018. How do we declare this?

My wife received a bursay during the first Quarter of 2017. However, in 2018, after declaring the 2017 taxes, Aide financier aux Etudes (AFE) du Quebec considered my wife ineligible for that bursary due to some overlap with another program. So, we were asked to return back the full amount and we did.

By 2019, The AFE gave us a document called "Bursary Overpayment" to be used in tax declaration as some sort of income deduction. Please help us on how we input this in our declaration using turbo-tax?
