Request for Educational Assistance

Dear [supervisor or approval person],

Pursuant to the company's educational assistance policy, I would like to submit the attached application for Educational Assistance. I understand that the company will only pay for advanced education in areas that the company feels will provide a benefit overall.

I am currently enrolling to take classes to complete my [BA/MA/PhD] in [curriculum area]. I feel that this area of study will allow me to further benefit the company by [provide one to two benefits of the increased education].

I also feel that with my current degree and credentials, I have reached a plateau within the company. I would like to increase my ability to continue moving up within the company, as well as provide the company with increased level of service.

Thank you for considering my application for educational assistance.

Sincerely,
