The King & Amy O’Malley Trust website provides information about King O’Malley, an Australian parliamentarian, and his wife Amy and why they both instructed in their wills that their estates be used for Home Economics scholarships. Their belief that Australian family life ought to be strengthened and supported for the sake of the nation, through the empowerment of individuals and families lead to the establishment of the King & Amy O’Malley Trust, and the awarding annually of undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships for students applying for or enrolled in tertiary Home Economics or equivalent programs, such as Consumer Science, Family and Consumer Studies, Food and Nutrition, and teacher education.
