Is there a mileage restriction when claiming scholarship money being used for room & board? My son lives near his college campus in an apartment but is only 20 miles from home.

No, he cannot, unfortunately. Room and board is not a qualified education expense. Scholarship used to cover these expenses is considered as taxable.
