The Julia & Othniel Malau-Aduli University Scholarship (JOMAUS) was established in Queensland, Australia, on February 18, 2022, primarily as a for-no-profit charitable family foundation in the memory of this legendary couple whose historical passion for the education of male and female children was unsurpassed. The main purpose is to promote the advancement of tertiary education of Richa indigenous people in particular, and to help relieve poverty by providing degree scholarships for young people from financially disadvantaged backgrounds to study at any fully recognized Nigerian University. Since its inauguration in 2022, JOMAUS has awarded scholarships to 37 recipients. From 2023 to 2025, yearly scholarship awards were capped at ten (10) recipients (minimum of one year or a maximum of three years) to eligible individual University undergraduate degree applicants only.
