Believe me, no one will disparage you for placing a priority on completing your education. It should be a priority for you.
When you communicate with your manager, be sure to express your support and understanding for her position as a leader - e.g., need to focus on the needs of the department rather than individuals. Be sure to thank her for giving you the job and acknowledge how much you have benefited/learned from working for her and how much you regret having to make a change. Then, you can end by telling her that you would love to have an opportunity to work for her in the future after you have completed your education.
