Some applications I've seen use a set of links/buttons, each one being a letter of the alphabet, or even 2-3 letters of the alphabet per link/button.
User clicks on a link/button and gets a list of students whose last names start with the clicked letter(s). At that point, should be relativly easy to scroll through the qualifying records.That could work for the 150-200 students you expect. A variation on that might be to have all the students loaded into a datagrid or table, then use the links/buttons to hilite the first qualifying row in the datagrid. As others have said, lots of approaches to this.
