Aum Namasivaya
As well as Maa Sarsvati, the goddess of learning and speech, off course as Saidevo says these are not specific prayers -------------
Generally in India Ganesh and Sarasvati are invoked for the success in studies, i hope you don't mind me adding this.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
