Funding
To obtain a student visa for full-time study, you must demonstrate the ability to pay for your entire first year of study in the U.S. You also will 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 scholarships or loans as sources of funding. However, international students are considered for merit scholarships.

Why do they make contrasting statements? First they say you can indicate sources of partial funding. But for visa, you cannot include loans? So, we have to show personal resources for visa? Any international students here who have dealt with this?
