My merit scholarships gave the same amount of money whether you lived on campus or not, so I was able to use that money for living off-campus (rent, food, phone, utilities, etc.).
I had several merit grants with no stipulation (one private grantor even insisted I use some of the money "for fun"), so I used the money to buy books, keep gas in my car, and purchase a much-needed piece of medical equipment that the school insurance didn't cover (I didn't have my own health insurance) and the rest was "mad money".
