About The Organization
The Finance and Accounting Services Sector Education and Training Authority (FASSET) is a South African organization that helps students and workers get the skills needed in finance, accounting, banking and other related careers. It was started under the South African government’s skills development plan to help more learners succeed in jobs that are important for the economy and employment. FASSET works with universities, colleges and employers to support education, training and career growth in the finance and accounting sector.
🎓 About The Bursary Programme
The FASSET Bursary is money given to learners so they can study finance, accounting and related subjects at a public University, University of Technology or TVET College. The bursary helps pay for study-related costs like tuition fees, textbooks, accommodation and meal allowances up to a set amount per year. The aim is to make studying easier without having to pay it back like a loan.
🎯 What Does The Bursary Cover?
*Tuition fees (study costs)
* Prescribed textbooks
* Accommodation allowance (where you stay)
* Meal allowance (food money)
> Amounts may vary depending on what you study and level of study — usually capped each year.
