Hope Certificate: Hope Certificate Format, Sample, Example, Template Download
Hope Certificate is a kind official certificate of assurance given to an educational institution when submitting application for admission, job, or scholarship; that the candidate will pass the final exam with good marks based on previous semester’s performance. The hope certificate is issued by the principal of an educational institute where the student is currently enrolled and studying.Â
In some countries, colleges and universities give admission to students based on their performance in previous all those semesters of which the result is available. In case the candidate’s final result is pending or the candidate is in the final semester then an application for a hope certificate is filed in college or university that provides assurance that the candidate will pass the final exam with good marks (based on candidate’s previous semester’s performance).
In that case, a hope certificate is required to be sure of the fact that the student, indeed, will be able to meet all the academic pre-requisites/eligibility criteria for admission into the next degree course, scholarship, or job.
Hope certificates in History
