The College Options Foundation is dedicated to enriching the academic development of high school students and assisting them in their preparation for higher education.  Using academic competitions, college exam study guides, college admissions tutorials and personalized counseling, we have assisted thousands of students to attain their dreams of attending college.

The Foundation’s academic competitions are designed to challenge and prepare high school students for college entrance exams using a fast-paced internet-based program designed by i.d.e.a.s. at Disney-MGM Studios. Students in JROTC programs may sign up to compete in the JROTC Academic Challenge which tests teams of 5 cadets on their knowledge of JROTC curriculum, high school math, science and language arts.

The Foundation also serves as a resource for students who are interested in obtaining more information about higher education.  Our award-winning software takes students and their parents through the process of preparing for college entrance exams, submitting applications, obtaining financial aid and getting ready for that first year of college.

Finally, the Foundation offers unique fundraising opportunities for groups such as JROTC units, service clubs, special interest clubs – just about any group of high school students -- to raise money for their activities.  These programs do not require “start up” costs or time-consuming oversight by parents and provide funds for all of your organization’s activities.

We believe that it is vital that all students have access to the resources necessary to prepare them for the rigors of college.  Our goal is to serve as a comprehensive source for parent and students by providing materials that assist them in understanding the college admissions process, financial aid regulations, scholarship availability and overall requirements for college success.  The Foundation is currently working with over 2,000 high school programs, which include 330,000 students nationwide, to provide innovative educational assistance.
