Scholarship charges for room and board I didn’t use

I had a full ride scholarship that would include room and board, but I lived off campus instead and never used either. Since I never officially cancelled the form the room and meal plan was charged and then paid for with the scholarship. All automatic. Is there ANYTHING I can do to correct that or not have to report that part as income?

Tax Liability On Inherited Real Estate Sale

My father recently passed away. He owned a house that was purchased in 1975 +/-. In October of 2022 he added me to the deed as owner along with him. Purchase price was $35,000, sale price will be approximately $400,000. I am located in Teller County, Colorado and am 62 years old. The house is in El Paso County, Colorado. Can you tell me what my tax liability from the sale will be and any way to minimize the liability if available. Thank you.
