About Fasset Outstanding Study Debt Assistance Grant
The FASSET Outstanding Study Debt Assistance Grant, run by the Finance and Accounting Services SETA, clears historical student debt for graduates who completed a finance or accounting qualification but can't obtain their certificate or transcript because of unpaid fees.
