Management is responsible for The Student Loan Corporation’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion regarding The Student Loan Corporation’s compliance based on our examination.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have been informed that, under The Student Loan Corporation’s interpretation regarding compliance with Article XI, Section 11.1 of the Indenture of Trust, dated as of September 28, 2005, between the SLC Student Loan Trust 2005-2 and Wachovia Bank, National Association, and with the Servicing Agreement, Sections 2 and 3, dated as of September 28, 2005, between The Student Loan Corporation and SLC Student Loan Trust 2005-2, the criteria set forth in Appendix I is suitable for attesting to management’s assertion referred to above.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that The Student Loan Corporation complied with the aforementioned requirements for the period September 28, 2005 through December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria set forth in Appendix I.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors and management of The Student Loan Corporation, SLC Student Loan Trust 2005-2, and Indenture Trustee, and is not intended to be, and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
