Purpose and History of the AIF Malaya Nursing Scholarship Fund (Not Applicable)

Purpose

Established in 1947, the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) Malaya Nursing Scholarship Fund is a perpetual private charitable trust for the purpose of supporting students from Singapore and Malaysia to study nursing in Australia.

History

"After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the AIF members who were returning from Malaya (now known as Malaysia and Singapore) began discussing a suitable memorial to recognise the enormous bravery of the thousands of prisoners of war and Malayan communities that provided support and kindness to the captive forces over a very difficult three-year period.
At a conference of senior AIF officers in 1945, a committee was appointed to consider suggestions and make recommendations for a suitable memorial. After much deliberation, it was decided to adopt the recommendation of Major Cade to form a scholarship to train students from Malaya in Australia with a view to them returning to Malaya and practice as nurses."

The AIF Malaya Nursing Scholarship Fund is managed by a Board who are the Managing Trustees, the funds being administered by State Trustees (Victoria) who act in the capacity of Custodian Trustee.

The Board is now winding up the AIF Malaya Nursing Scholarship Fund. The remaining funds will be distributed by means of the AIF Malaya Nursing Scholarship Fund FY2027 Grant.
