The Otipemisiwak Métis Students Association (OMSA) is a framework created to enhance Métis citizens through cultural and community-based initiatives. It serves as the first point of contact for Métis students and alumni pursuing post-secondary education and training-to-employment opportunities. Applying to OMSA is the essential first step toward accessing post-secondary funding and support

We work to support Métis students in their academic and personal journeys by creating spaces where they can connect, access resources, and celebrate their identity. En Roo is one of the many ways we’re building a stronger, more supported future for the next generation of Métis scholars.
