No, the tuition was paid by the graduate school and is not deductible. The living expenses in your situation are taxable.
As far as whether the tuition deduction would be better depends on the facts and circumstances in each case. See Publication 970 for more information. See Coordination with Pell grants and other scholarships in chapter 2 and chapter 3.
