PinballBURSARY 2026 Graduate: Justin

Meet Justin Patrocinio, a graduate of McGill University and a member of our PinballBURSARY Class of 2026.

Justin completed his studies with an outstanding 3.99/4.00 GPA, reflecting the dedication, perseverance, and excellence that define this year's bursary recipients.

“This Bursary has helped me incredibly - so much so, words can't really describe it. Not only did PinballBURSARY offer financial relief in my last three years of university, but it also provided me with a community, a family to rely on when I need them.

Attending You(th) Lead provided me with several mentors and cheerleaders in the professional world. Each one of these individuals has pushed me and challenged me in directions I didn't know were possible. I highly valued the networking opportunities with fellow students - it's my absolute favourite part of the program!

The most valuable piece of information I gained from mentorship was the importance of showing up for the people you care about. Simple yet hard to fulfill at times, but absolutely necessary to be a good person.”

We are proud to recognize Justin's accomplishments and celebrate this important milestone as we continue to work with Justin through the next stage of his professional journey. Congratulations, Justin!
