I think technically they say no, that it can't be used for personal items, but I've used it to pay for rent and other things and never had anyone come after me. I don't know how they would ever track this. If it's applied completely to your tuition and you have surplus, of course you should use it to support your life and make it easier for you to focus on school

If they know you’re sponsored why they gonna give you a scholly?

Cost of living I. NYC

I think you are only able to use scholarships and financial aid for things like tuition and books. There are some scholarships that cover your board but they wouldn't cover extras like groceries, gas, etc. Its defintiely worth looking into though to see what all is out there.
