Portuguese term or phrase: diplomado

In a Doctorate diploma at the bottom, the person receiving the degree signed the diploma also, under the term "diplomado".
What would be the best term for this: awarded, graduated? Ideas or suggetions?
BTW, I know this was asked before and the answer chosen was "graduated", but I just want to make sure it doesn't sound weird, or whether or not there is a term used in a similar way in the US
Thansk again for your time
