College Options Foundation Inc

Programs: The foundation organizes a number of academic contests each year for teams of high school students. During 2014 and 2013, all of these contests were for members of chapters of the various junior reserve officer training corps ("jrotc") programs. These contests generally consist of multiple rounds in which the students participate remotely through an internet application. In the case of the army jrotc leadership symposium and academic bowl, the air force academic bowl, and the navy academic bowl, there is also a final round in which the top teams from the on-line competition travel to a venue for a head-to-head final round to determine the champion. The foundation provides logistical support to participants and hosts these head-to-head rounds. The head-to-head final round was eliminated for 2014. However, the foundation has acquired funding to host that round in 2015.

the foundation owns the rights to certain educational content, notably the college success program, the complete guide to college financing and admissions, and the standardized test preparation game, zero hour threat. These programs are made available on compact disc, digital video disc, and on the internet.

the foundation attempts to fulfill its purpose of assisting students in preparing for further education by providing ways for academic organizations within high schools to raise funds for their academic activities. The foundation has packaged its educational content as described above in a way that high school chapters of academic organizations can sell the content as a fund-raiser. By organizing this and similar fund-raising activities for chapters of jrotc and other academic organizations in high schools, it is the foundations intent to promote academic excellence. It is intended that a portion of the funds raised by the high school chapters will be paid as revenue to the foundation in return for its organizing services.
