INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Bank One, National Association
(formerly known as The First National Bank of Chicago)
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

KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 1999-A student loans as of December 31, 1999,
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 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
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 January 1, 1999, included in the accompanying Statement of
Compliance with Specifically Identified Requirements as of December 31,
1999, and for the year then ended, are fairly stated in all material
respects.

Higher Education Assistance Agency, Key Bank USA, N.A., Bank One, National

letter dated March 3, 2000 that Key Bank USA, National Association
(KBUSA), a wholly owned subsidiary of KeyCorp, complied with sections
4.04, 4.08(a), 4.08(b), 4.08(c), 5.05, 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08 of the
KeyCorp Student Loan Trust 1999-A Sale and Servicing Agreement and
sections 1.(a)(xx), 1.(b)(iii), 2 and 3 of the KeyCorp Student Loan
Trust 1999-A Administration Agreement (collectively, the "Agreements")
as of December 31, 1999 and for the period from February 9, 1999
through December 31, 1999. As discussed in the representation letter,
management is responsible for KBUSA's compliance with those
requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertion about KBUSA's 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
KBUSA's compliance with those requirements and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances, except that
in accordance with Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
our examination assumed the accuracy of reports prepared by KBUSA's
student loan processor. We believe that our examination provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on KBUSA's compliance with the aforementioned
requirements.
In our opinion, assuming the accuracy of reports prepared by KBUSA's
student loan processor, management's assertion that KBUSA was in
compliance with the sections in the Agreements referred to above, as of
December 31, 1999 and for the period from February 9, 1999 through
December 31, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for your information and is not to be
referred to or distributed for any purpose to anyone who is not
authorized to receive such information as specified in the Agreements
or in the exhibits attached thereto.
