@videot7. Got your point. I did misread your question and thought their was a distribution aspect to your question. The amounts reported on IRS form 1098-T are a guide that can help you figure out the taxable portion of your scholarships, grants and fellowships, but not necessarily a definitive answer. So, you can modify this amount and transfer it to room and board and just enter the scholarship amount you deemed was against tuition. You may have to keep receipts of the actual amounts of related expenses and actual tuition in the unfortunate event the IRS were to ask to see evidence in support of your deduction. A possibility not uncommon.
