  1. Total training institution recurring costs are expected to increase each year due to the increase in the number of staff and students. This table details this by year and by cost category. Housing allowances are given to faculty where accommodation is not available and cost-effective to build. Many programs plan to increase their enrollment in 2010, accounting for smaller or no additional recurring costs in 2008 and 2009.
