yes, it is grammatically correct to use hope and will in the same sentence. You may find, however, that concluding an essay with that statement is not very convincing or mature sounding. And most English teachers will advise you never to use the first person point of view ("I") in an essay unless it is a narrative.

Instead, try to summarize the main points of your essay and then try to draw the reader towards the conclusion that "such and such" action will have "such and such" positive effect.

Let me make an example: your paper is about global warming, and in your paper you describe the causes of global warming (carbon emissions) and the effects on the environment. Instead of using the sentence "I hope you will save energy and plant trees so that we can stop global warming" as a conclusion, I would use something like the following paragraph as a conclusion:

"Carbon emissions have a huge negative impact on the environment and the future of our planet. Although large factories emit the majority of carbon emissions in America, each person can work to reduce their own carbon footprint by carefully saving energy in their everyday life and by funding projects to plant more trees. By practicing these simple actions, global warming can be slowed down or maybe even stopped."

see how it's implied that the writer of this paper hopes people will do these things?
Good luck in writing your essay!

Sure, but it may be more persuasive to draw the conclusion without using those words. For instance, "Based on the foregoing analysis/factors/reasoning/findings, X action is the most reasonable/effective/beneficial." Instead of "I hope you will make X decision based on the foregoing." Either one is just as good I guess. "Therefore, doing whatever it is is the best option and logical conclusion." Whatever, just write "hope you will," you get the point I'm trying to make to support your conclusion with the body of your writing.
