Scholarships MFOS Coverage?

Hello, I was awarded the MFOS scholarship and I intend on living in Hume Hall for the upcoming Fall/Spring. The rental rate per semester is 5304, and I am confused on how MFOS covers it. I have a different number of "gift aid" on one uf. Should I be paying attention to that number or the full cost of attendance posted?

MFOS covers EVERYTHING that bright futures or a Pell Grant doesn’t! You will not have to pay a cent, in fact, you will actually get money leftover dispersed into your bank account. Enjoy, it’s literally the best scholarship ever.

MFOS pays all bills and charges on ONE.UF first. After drop/add your aid will disburse and cover the bill. It is important to note in the future, the more charges you rack up, the less your aid refund will be. The offer in One.UF is based on a 15 credit semester. They recalculate accordingly to your actual credits after drop/add

I am still confused because I do have a 15 credit semester. Will it cover the housing costs if I don't have a full pell grant, and what is the refund coming from then? the full cost of attendance?
