Study Leave Letter

If your company or employer has a defined study leave policy then you will be asked to submit a request for approval from your supervisors. This request will be meant to initiate the leave process but will also clearly state when you expect to leave and when you plan to return.

In some cases, especially with governmental organizations, you might be required to sign a bond which states that you will come back after a set number of years and will stay employed with the government for an agreed upon amount of time. If you plan on applying for a study leave, check out how to write a study leave letter guide below.

Ms. Jackson,

Following my admission at the London School of Economics, I am applying for a study leave as per our company policy. I have selected a four year undergraduate program which commences on September 2009 and will be completed on May 2013.

I have included a copy of the admissions letter to the BBA program along with the scholarship letter that the university issued me. This is for the company record of my employment.

I will be very thankful if my application will be considered because I feel a degree in Business Administration will help me do my tasks better at the company.
