Do I need to file y taxes if I'm a dependent student with no earned income, but I do have unearned income from scholarships? it was use to pay room and board.

I'm claimed by my parents and they included my 1098-t and education expenses. When they put that part of my scholarship ($4,500) was used for room and board, it says that I need to report it as income. 

I do not have any other income, so when put all my info into turbo tax it says that I don't owe any tax. Do I need to file a tax return?
