Early discussion in October 2024 outlined creating a 501(c)(3) scholarship committee and noted the committee would handle accounting, tax filing and fundraising. Michael West said he would bring further information back to the Board.

Omega Nu Sorority agreed to administer payments to recipients; the Board set award levels and refined selection criteria focusing on candidates from Colusa County pursuing postsecondary agricultural study, career technical education or vocational training. Staff and trustees indicated the goal of $1,000 awards to selected students.
