请教NYU的存款证明

NYU要求国际学生在online application要提交存款证明

“Certification of this ability to fund your first year of study must be provided in the International Student Supplement.”；“Funding: You must complete this section. In order to obtain a student visa, you must demonstrate the ability to pay for your entire first year of study in the U.S. You will also be required to indicate the source(s) of funding for your second year. The funding section of the International Student Supplement helps you start preparing for the visa application process by encouraging you to plan your finances early.  Even if you cannot fully support your first year, please indicate your sources of partial funding. For visa purposes, you should not include potential merit-based scholarships or loans as sources of funding. International students are considered for merit scholarships and are eligible to apply for private loans. ”

可问题是本人从没做过什么存款证明，NYU也没讲具体需要什么，怎么操作。哪位有经验的讲讲这个给学校的存款证明主要需要哪些步骤和工作啊？多谢了！

奇怪的是它们online application account里面没有要求提供什么证明文件，只是问你能不能自己付学费，点击y or n就行了，感觉很奇怪。大家有没有能解释的

不理解最后一句话什么意思：International students are considered for merit scholarships and are eligible to apply for private loans. 这里的private loan指什么

不排除今年政策有变。只是说一下去年的情况。申请的时候不用证明，只是拿到offer以后要弄张存款证明扫描了发给学校证明你有财力完成学业，然后学校会给你寄I-20表。签证完了以后你该贷款贷款想怎么样怎么样没人管你。

private loan 应该就是指学生贷款，目前NYU还没有收到通知说不能贷款。
