Sunway FIA vs CFAB

help advise, losing my mind lowk

i had good grades for olevels so there was a bunch of guaranteed scholarships and i got awarded the JCF scholarship as well

the JCF scholarship is for FIA, i didnt know about CFAB or ICAEW when i applied, i forgot if there was other options other than FIA and FIST when i applied ngl

i also qualify for the Sunway-ICAEW Global Accountant Scholarship, but they require you to pay 14k+ rm upfront, refundable later but its still money i dont really have

I saw that the jcf scholarship covers a whole lot of different programmes like CFAB so i contemplated and sent an email respectfully asking if there was any chance of transferring into CFAB with the scholarships without upfront pay

so i think either ways, it works out, i just need reassurance that both FIA and CFAB will be alright, like fia offers flexibility, diverse students, a typical uni life. cfab offers fast track employment so i'll be earning a salary quicker, i could always go fia>icaew as well on the same scholarship

yeah idk sorry if this is a weird specific issue to have, if anyone has any advice or perspective to offer, any help would be great 🙏
