We invite you to become a member or renew your membership to the Scudder Association, one of the oldest and most accomplished family charitable organizations in the United States.

Our association encompasses Scudders who can trace their lineage to three Scudders (Thomas, John or Elizabeth) who came to America from England in the 1600s. We can help you discover your link to these lines through our genealogical records or you can become an associate member to take part in our exciting endeavors. We have records tracing our roots back to 1500.

Scudders have fought in the American Revolution, were founders of Princeton University, and in 1819 went to India as medical missionaries. Since that first trip to India The Scudder Association has supported and assisted the Vellore Christian Medical College and Hospital. In addition to financial grants to the Vellore CMC&H, The Scudder Association offers financial aid and grants to worthy students planning careers in the ministry, medicine, and social services.

A basic membership costs only $25 a year, which includes access to all our genealogical resources, a digital subscription to our quarterly newsletter, and a opportunity to get to know other Scudders online and at our annual meetings. Please support the mission of Aunt Ida by becoming a member of the Scudder Association. ReJoin Family and support our Philanthropic Endeavors.
