Abstract

The University of Richmond, an institution with an under-represented minority student population, and the CIGNA Corporation created the CIGNA Scholars Program to recruit and retain students of color. This program, from inception to current activity, will be discussed in order to facilitate the creation of such programs at other institutions.
