📖 Study Tour Application for HSC

A study tour application is a formal written request in which students ask the Principal of a college or the Headmaster of a school for permission — and often financial support — to arrange an educational excursion to a historical, natural, or industrial place. It is one of the most frequently set formal application topics in English for Class 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, SSC, and even HSC examinees, because examiners can test formal letter format, polite request language, and paragraph organization through it. This guide explains the standard format of a study tour application, gives you three complete ready-to-use samples for different situations, a bank of useful phrases you can reuse in the exam hall, and scoring tips that help you earn full marks.

Study Tour Application Format Explained

Every study tour application follows the same formal application format. Learn this skeleton once and you can write it for any class, any destination, and any recipient:

1. Date – Written at the top left. Use a realistic exam-style date, for example: 15 March 2026.

2. Recipient's address – "The Principal" or "The Headmaster", followed by the institution's name and address. For schools, this is the Headmaster; for colleges, the Principal.

3. Subject line – A one-line summary of the request, such as "Subject: Application for permission to go on a study tour." The subject line makes the purpose of the letter clear at a glance.

4. Salutation – "Sir," is standard in Bangladesh exam writing.

5. Body – Usually three to four paragraphs: (a) state who you are and what you want; (b) explain why the place was chosen and its educational value; (c) mention the teachers accompanying you, the number of students, and the money needed; (d) make the final polite request.

6. Closing – "Yours obediently," (for an individual writer) or "We remain, Sir, yours obediently," (when writing on behalf of the class).

7. Signature block – Your name, class, and roll number, plus a line like "On behalf of the students of Class X."

Remember: the body of a study tour application must always connect the tour to learning. A study tour is not just a picnic — examiners award marks when you show that the trip will widen knowledge, remove monotony, and give students first-hand experience of what they read in books.

Study Tour Application to the Principal of a College

This variant is the most common HSC and college-level question: seeking permission from the Principal to arrange a study tour to a historical place.

15 March 2026

The Principal

Govt. Rajendra College, Faridpur

Subject: Application for permission to arrange a study tour.

Sir,

We, the students of HSC 2nd year of your college, beg most respectfully to draw your kind attention to the fact that we want to go on a study tour. We have unanimously decided to visit Paharpur, the famous Buddhist monastery declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Reading about the Pala dynasty in our history book, we feel a strong desire to see this great archaeological site with our own eyes.

Mere bookish knowledge cannot satisfy us unless we see things ourselves. Such a visit will give us a clear idea of the art, culture, and civilization of ancient Bengal. A study tour is not only interesting but also instructive; it widens our knowledge and gives us relief from our monotonous life. Three of our professors have kindly agreed to accompany us as guides.

We have estimated that the tour will cost about Tk. 30,000. We are ready to contribute half of the total expenditure from our own subscriptions. We need a sanction of Tk. 15,000 from the college fund for the remaining amount.

May we, therefore, pray and hope that you would be kind enough to grant our prayer, permit us to go on the tour, and sanction the requisite amount, and oblige thereby.

We remain,

Sir,

Yours obedient students of

HSC 2nd Year, Govt. Rajendra College, Faridpur

Study Tour Application to the Headmaster of a School

This is the classic SSC, Class 9, and Class 10 version — an application to the Headmaster seeking permission for a study tour to a place of interest.

15 March 2026

The Headmaster

Mirzapur Pilot High School, Tangail

Subject: Prayer for permission and monetary assistance to go on a study tour.

Sir,

I, on behalf of the students of Class X, have the honour to state that we would like to go on a study tour. Our annual examination is over, and we are now free from the pressure of study. So we have decided unanimously to go to Bagerhat, a famous place of historical interest.

As part of our study tour we want to see the historical Shat Gambuj Mosque, the Mazar and the Dighi of Saint Khan Jahan Ali, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. There is a good reason for choosing this place: it will furnish us with much knowledge concerning the glorious history of our country, and it will also give us relief from our monotonous life. In order to know the history of the place properly, two of our senior teachers have agreed to accompany us.

In order to meet the expenditure, we need monetary assistance from you, too. We have already collected a handsome amount by subscription, but we still need an amount of Tk. 10,000 from the school fund.

I, therefore, pray and hope that you would be kind enough to permit us to go on this study tour and sanction the requisite amount of money, and oblige thereby.

Yours obediently,

Tanvir Ahmed (Cultural Prefect)

Class X, Roll No. 07

On behalf of the students of Class X

Short Study Tour Application from the Class Monitor

Examiners sometimes want a shorter variant — an application written by the class monitor or a single student arranging the tour. This compact version covers all the required points in fewer words.

15 March 2026

The Headmaster

Uttara Model School, Dhaka

Subject: Application for arranging a study tour.

Sir,

With due respect, I beg to state that the students of Class VIII want to go on a study tour. Our class teacher has given his kind consent. We have decided to visit the National Museum in Dhaka, where we can see the relics of our liberation war and ancient history with our own eyes.

This tour will be of great educational value to us. Mere reading of books cannot give us complete knowledge unless we see things ourselves. Our party will consist of 45 students and two teachers, and it will take one day for the tour. The total expenditure will be about Tk. 8,000, which we shall manage by equal contribution.

I, therefore, pray and hope that you would be kind enough to permit us to arrange the study tour and oblige thereby.

Yours obediently,

Rahim Uddin (Class Monitor)

Class VIII, Roll No. 03

Useful Phrases and Sentence Patterns for a Study Tour Application

How to Write a Study Tour Application for Full Marks in Exams

8. Match the recipient to the question. If the question mentions a college, write to the Principal; if it mentions a school, write to the Headmaster. Mixing them up costs marks.

9. Always write a subject line. Many students skip it, but it shows formal writing skill and pleases examiners.

10. Name a real destination. Paharpur, Mahasthangarh, Bagerhat, the Sundarbans, Mainamati, or a museum — a concrete place with one line about why it matters is far stronger than a vague "historical place."

11. Show educational purpose. The golden sentence pattern is bookish knowledge versus first-hand experience. Use it.

12. Include practical details. Number of students, accompanying teachers, cost, and how much you can manage yourselves — these details make the application realistic and complete.

13. Keep the tone formal and polite. Use "Sir," "pray and hope," "kind enough," and "oblige thereby." Avoid casual language.

14. End with a proper signature block. Name, class, roll number, and "on behalf of" line when writing for the class. An application without a signature looks unfinished.

Study Tour Application FAQs

What is a study tour application for Class 10?

It is a formal application written by Class 10 students to the Headmaster of their school, seeking permission — and usually monetary assistance — to arrange an educational study tour. It must include a date, the Headmaster's address, a subject line, three to four body paragraphs explaining the destination and its educational value, and a proper signature with name, class, and roll number.

How do I write an application to the principal for a study tour?

Address it to "The Principal" with the college name and address, add a subject line like "Application for permission to arrange a study tour," and write three to four paragraphs: introduce the request, explain the educational value of the chosen destination, mention the accompanying teachers and the cost, then make a final polite request. Close with "Yours obediently" and your name, class, and roll.

What is the format of an application for arranging a study tour?

The standard format is: date, recipient's address (The Principal/The Headmaster), subject line, salutation ("Sir,"), body paragraphs (request, educational purpose, teachers and expenses, final request), closing ("Yours obediently,"), and signature block with name, class, and roll number. This format works for Class 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, SSC, and HSC levels.

How long should a study tour application be?

In exams, a complete study tour application is usually 180–250 words: a date, address block, subject line, three to four body paragraphs, and a signature block. That length covers all the required points without wasting exam time.

Which is the best destination to mention in a study tour application?

Choose a place you can describe with one factual line: Paharpur (UNESCO World Heritage Buddhist monastery), Bagerhat (Shat Gambuj Mosque, World Heritage Site), the Sundarbans (largest mangrove forest), Mahasthangarh (ancient archaeological site), or the National Museum. Examiners reward specific, accurate details.

Should I ask for money in a study tour application?

Yes, if the question mentions monetary assistance or sanction. Mention how much the tour will cost, how much students will contribute by subscription, and the exact amount you request from the school or college fund. If the question only asks for permission, request permission only.

What is the difference between a study tour application and an excursion application?

There is no real difference in format or language — "study tour" and "excursion" are used interchangeably in exam questions. Both ask for permission to visit an educational place, and both follow the same application structure. Use whichever word the question paper uses.

Can I use the same study tour application for Class 6, 7, and 8?

Yes. The format is identical at every level; only the destination and the recipient change. For a school, address it to the Headmaster; for a college, to the Principal. Shorten the sample for lower classes if your teacher advises it, but keep all parts of the format.
