Final year undergraduate students in completing their thesis experience various challenges. In addressing those challenges and problems, an unyielding attitude, persistent character, and focus on the goal are needed. This study aims to examine the relationship between hope and grit in undergraduate students who are completing their thesis. The participants was 271 respondents which were obtained by purposive sampling technique. The measuring instruments used in this study were the Integrative Hope Scale (Schrank et al., 2014) and the Grit Scale (Duckworth, 2016) which were translated into Indonesian. The results of hypothesis testing showed a value of r=0,311 (p=0,000).  In conclusion, there is a positive relationship between hope and grit in students who are completing their thesis. The higher the hope, the higher the individual's grit. Vice versa, the lower the hope, the lower the individual's grit. Suggestions are given for higher education management to develop hope and grit in students.
