Each of the students received $ 3,500. To be considered for the Appleby Annual Scholarship, a student must be a resident of Maine and have lived in the state for purposes other than attending dental school, have completed their first year of dental school, and be enrolled in a dental school accredited by the American Dental Association.

Daigle is the son of Mark and Diane Daigle of Manchester; Fongemie is the daughter of Jeffrey and Joline Fongemie from Augusta; and Violette is the son of James and Mary Violette of Waterville.
