I read on their website...:

Room
For the 2008-09 academic year, a student is allowed a maximum Financial Aid allotment of $13,000. for rent. The average rent for a student living in walking distance to the college is $1,250. per month. The average rent for a student commuting by subway is $715. per month.

Board
For the 2008-09 academic year, a student is allowed a maximum Financial Aid allotment of $5,150. for food & household supplies. (Including utilities and phone).

How hard are these to get? And can anyone qualify for a partial amount?

It's actually relatively easy to get. But I think their average costs are quite off target, with actual numbers being a little bit more.

It's incredibly easy to qualify for the full amount - most of the students here at SCO do, for sure. As long as you (or your parents, if you submitted parental info on the FAFSA) don't have a ton of assets, you'll probably be fine.
