Winners of the 2023 Tronfeld West & Durrett Step by Step Scholarship

The Tronfeld West & Durrett attorneys are proud to announce the winners of the annual 2023 Step by Step Scholarship Competition.  This Scholarship competition is meant to help students reach important future goals and is awarded to five high school or college students in Virginia that are enrolled in a two to five-year institute of higher learning.

The attorneys at Tronfeld West & Durrett understand the importance of working hard and setting goals. We also understand that one of the biggest steps students will take in their lives is choosing and attending a college. Awarding the Step by Step Scholarship to highly deserving students, allows them to take their first steps toward their future goals.

While there is no required minimum GPA, students are asked to explain how they will achieve their future goals and dreams. The group of talented, creative dreamers plan to pursue a wide range of future goals, ranging from studying biology, becoming an Obstetrician, attending law school, and majoring in the visual arts field.  The five winners of this year’s Step by Step Scholarship are:

• Jazz Miles
• Melani Burkhart
• Cheyenne Rendon
• Maya White
• Lauren-Danielle Muñoz

Winning this scholarship means the world to my family and I because this will help me pay my way through college with a little less stress on my family and I’s shoulders to find ways to pay for it. I will be majoring in biomedical sciences, and I wish to be an Obstetrician in the years to come. Having the opportunity to win this scholarship has already lifted a world of stress off my family and I am so grateful for that and the people who made it happen. Thank you! –Maya White

I hope to major in commerce or economics at the University of Virginia. After my undergraduate, I plan on attending law school with an interest in criminal law. Earning this scholarship showed me how hard work does eventually pay off. This also alleviates some of my family’s financial burdens, which I am grateful for.—Melani Burkhart

The passion and hard work exhibited by these five students was evident in their applications. We at Tronfeld West & Durrett are proud to recognize their dedication to their future. Our attorneys wish Jazz, Melani, Cheyenne, Maya, and Lauren all the best in life as they pursue their goals, paving the way for future generations.
