Scholarship Certificate Template

Scholarship certificates are presented at award ceremonies to recognise the recipient publicly. They name the scholarship, the sponsor, often the amount, and the academic year it applies to. The formal letter with payment terms is separate; the certificate is the keepsake.

Questions people ask

Should the amount go on a scholarship certificate?

It is common but optional. Some sponsors leave it off so the certificate focuses on the honour; the amount is in the award letter.

Who signs a scholarship certificate?

Usually the sponsor (foundation chair or donor) and a representative of the school or selection committee.

Can I make certificates for several scholarship winners at once?

Yes. Put name, scholarship and amount in columns and use the bulk generator.
