The Scudder Association gives out a number of grants each year to students recommended by members in the fields of medicine, ministry, and social work. The Educational Grant committee has the joy and responsibility of dispersing about $25,000 each year to worthy and needy students.

As Scudders, we take great pride in the pioneering work of our relatives who have served in India since the 1800s. They’ve left us a rich legacy upon which the Scudder Association continues to build.
