About this template
Made with schools, colleges and graduation committees in mind, this Top Graduate Award helps you mark the day someone graduates without starting from a blank page. Italiana sets the title and Josefin Sans carries the details, with a laurel wreath giving the page its character. Change a few words and it doubles as a competition award.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Awarded to [Name] on graduating from [School]. Thank you for the questions, the laughter and the hard work.
Today we celebrate [Name], graduate of [Year]: may your next steps be as bold as the ones that brought you here.
[Name] has met every requirement of Top Graduate Award with determination and good humour. We are proud to call you a graduate.
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line. Colours are yours to change: try Onyx Gold, or match your own brand colours. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
