                       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 2000-A) between Key Bank USA, National Association and Great
Lakes dated as of June 1, 2000, as amended (Subservicing Agreement) during the
year ended December 31, 2003. 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, 2003, 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.; JP
Morgan Chase Bank, formally known as Bank One, National Association; Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas, formally known as Bankers Trust Company; Moody's
Investor Services, Inc.; Standard and Poor's Ratings Services; Fitch IBCA; MBIA
Insurance Corporation; and Key Bank USA, National Association, and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
