About this template
Use this classic Research Assistantship Certificate to celebrate a goal that has been reached. It suits universities, research groups and academic departments, and anyone else who wants the moment to feel official. On CerShare it comes in the Painted Grey colour scheme; the lettering pairs Vollkorn with Courier Prime. It works just as well as a graduation certificate.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Awarded to [Name] for exceeding expectations in [Project or subject]. Your effort made the difference.
Presented to [Name] in recognition of outstanding achievement in [Area] during [Year].
With congratulations to [Name] for reaching [Milestone], a first for [Organisation].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the project, term and hours fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Prefer another look? Switch to the Oak & Brass or Walnut & Teal colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Markazi Text.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
