<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of the Voya Prime Rate Trust (the &ldquo;Trust&rdquo;), as of and for the year ended February 28, 2017, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Trust&rsquo;s
internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Management of the Trust is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates
and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">A deficiency in internal control over financial
reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Trust&rsquo;s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Our consideration of the Trust&rsquo;s internal
control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose
all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Trust&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting
and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above
as of February 28, 2017.</P>
