Son rec'd 1098-T. Can I count all box 5 amt. for tuition & qualified ed. expenses? And none to room & board? Box 5 amt is < tuition & qualified ed expenses. Thanks!

Put differently, do IRS rules allow scholarships/grants to go to tuition & qualified ed. expenses 1st, so that amt. for room & board matters only if scholarships/grants are > tuition & qualified ed. expenses? (My son does stay on campus.)
