                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


Bank One, National Association
as Eligible Lender Trustee

We have examined Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency's (Servicer)
assertions with respect to Sections 3.03, 3.04, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.08, 5.02,
and 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated June 1, 2000, about the
Servicer's compliance with the servicing of the KeyCorp Student Loan Trust
2000-A student loans as of December 31, 2001, and for the year then ended, as
indicated in the accompanying Statement of Compliance with Specifically
Identified Requirements. The Servicer is responsible for the Servicer's
compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Servicer's assertions about compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with attestation standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly,
included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Servicer's 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 the Servicer's compliance with attestation specified
requirements.

In our opinion, the Servicer's assertions with respect to Sections 3.03, 3.04,
4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.08, 5.02, and 5.03 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated
June 1, 2000, included in the accompanying Statement of Compliance with
Specifically Identified Requirements as of December 31, 2001, and for the year
then ended, are fairly stated in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of Pennsylvania
Higher Education Assistance Agency, Key Bank USA, National Association, Bank
One, National Association, Bankers Trust Company, and MBIA and is not intended
to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
