I've never seen a scholarship with any amount designated for room and board. But I have seen where a grant may have funds (dollar amount or percentage) designated for R&B.

As far as I can tell, that's one of the major differences I see between a scholarship and a grant.

Hal_Al is right and I"m not in disagreement. Just because the school used a scholarship for a specific expense, does not mean you are required to "apply" that expense as used, at tax time.
