Looking at this breakdown of costs for a boarding school, the other costs "matricula" / "cobros complimentarios" / "seguro accidente" leave boarding costs as the only thing left to pay.

Allowances


Explanation:
No estoy seguro si pensiones significan "boarding fees" pero en mi opinion se refieren "allowances" porque los estudiantes de escuela militar recibe pensiones del estado como becarios del estado.

"The allowances are deemed cancelled within five days of each month."
