You are thinking that the scholarship is actual money, that the school could give you the money rather than just crediting an account on your behalf. I’d also imagine that those living in triples are getting a better rate, not that they are living for free AND the school is handing them money on top of it (unless they are also scholarship students, then yes, maybe they get extra; do you want to live in a triple?)

If you don’t like the arrangement, you are free to pay your own housing but the free to you housing in on campus. If the school is giving the free housing, it is entitled to set the terms. You can always ask them if you could be assigned a triple, take the extra money, and use it for living off campus. You’re roommates would be happy as then they’d really have a double and still get the extra money too.
