The financing of local vocational schools is shared between the Home Rule Government / The Government of Greenland and the municipalities, funding expenses on class rooms, furniture and equipment, accommodation for employees, and lodging for students.

The expenses on student lodging are calculated as net figures, i.e. after deduction of the students' own payment.
