Received 1099-NEC as a student for a university job

Hi,

I am a full-time undergrad student. I received 1099-NEC for a part time job (dorm advisor) at my university. I used this amount toward my room and board charges for the year. Can I avoid paying tax for this amount? Specifically, can I add this as a miscellaneous income in TurboTax with a minus (negative) dollar amount, in addition to reporting this as 1099-NEC income? Thank you for responding.
