North Country Savings Bank Pledges 1% of Ogdensburg Residential Mortgage Interest to The Ogdensburg Promise
OGDENSBURG, N.Y.—North Country Savings Bank will contribute 1% of the interest it earns on mortgages for homes within the City of Ogdensburg to The Ogdensburg Promise, helping eligible local students pursue college and career training after high school.
The commitment reflects the bank’s mission to reinvest in the communities it serves, connecting mortgage lending in Ogdensburg with support for the city’s next generation.
The Ogdensburg Promise provides scholarship assistance and personalized guidance to eligible Ogdensburg Free Academy graduates who meet City of Ogdensburg residency requirements. Beginning with OFA’s Class of 2027, the program offers “last-dollar” support for eligible tuition and mandatory fees after applicable federal, state, and institutional aid has been applied.
Students may pursue public college, participating private university, or approved skilled-trade, technical, and vocational pathways. Promise Pathway Coaches also help students and families explore educational options, navigate applications, and understand financial aid.
For North Country Savings Bank, supporting the Promise aligns with its longstanding role as a community bank helping families establish roots and investing in local opportunity. The contribution will direct a share of locally earned mortgage interest toward education and training that can benefit students, families, and the region’s workforce. The initial commitment by NCSB is for three years and could extend beyond that.
“The Ogdensburg Promise reflects exactly the kind of investment we believe a community bank should make,” said R. Brian Coakley, President and CEO of North Country Savings Bank. “We want the families we serve to have every reason to build their futures here. This commitment connects our work helping people buy homes in Ogdensburg with an opportunity to help local students take their next steps.”
