                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Report of
Management on Compliance with Specified Key Alternative Loan Program
Requirements, that Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc. (Great Lakes)
complied with the specified requirements of the Subservicing Agreement (KeyCorp
Student Loan Trust 1999-B) between Key Bank USA, National Association and Great
Lakes dated as of September 1, 1999 (Subservicing Agreement) during the year
ended December 31, 2002. Management is responsible for Great Lakes' compliance
with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertion about Great Lakes' compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,
accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about Great Lakes'
compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures, as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on Great Lakes' compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that Great Lakes complied with the
aforementioned requirements during the year ended December 31, 2002, is fairly
stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit
committee and management of Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc.; Bank
One, National Association; Bankers Trust Company; Moody's Investor Services,
Inc.; Standard and Poor's Ratings Services; Fitch IBCA; and Key Bank USA,
National Association, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
