The Ogdensburg Promise will help eligible Ogdensburg Free Academy graduates cover remaining education costs after other financial aid is applied, beginning with the Class of 2027. The program includes pathways to public colleges, approved private universities and skilled-trade, technical or vocational certification programs.
SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton are founding campus partners. The program also includes two Promise Pathway Coaches to help students and families with career planning, applications, financial aid and academic progress. The initiative has raised nearly $4 million toward a $6 million goal, according to the program information cited in the report.
