Before the late Thomas H. Lutsey made his name as the inventor of still-popular ice cream treats in the mid-20th century, his life’s work as an innovator began as a child on his family’s farm in Pulaski, Wisconsin.

Since its inception in 1986, the Thomas H Lutsey-Waseda Farms Scholarship Program has awarded more than $865,000 in scholarship funds to 129 scholarship recipients.
