The Pennsbury Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors presented the Carlen family with a certificate of appreciation for establishing this scholarship, which will be awarded each year to a Pennsbury student in perpetuity, beginning this June.
Dolores Carlen worked for 20 years in the Pupil Services Department of the Pennsbury School District before she retired to Florida. She was often the first face seen by students and their parents when they visited the main office.
Dolores was also an active volunteer in the community. Along with her work in Pupil Services, she supported all things “Falcon”-from helping in her children’s classrooms to supporting PHS sports, cheerleading, Sports Nite and the marching band.

Carlen’s four daughters were all Pennsbury graduates, and she was always proud that a PSF scholarship was established in her youngest daughter’s name (Brenda Carlen Zellner) after she passed away from cancer in 2005. According to a recent press release, Carlen appreciated the work that the Pennsbury Scholarship Foundation does to help students achieve their goals at the next level of education, and would be extremely pleased that a scholarship is now established in her name.
The application deadline for the Pennsbury Scholarship Foundation’s 2019 awards is May 1. For more information or to download an application form, visit here.
