Your passport copy serves as a national ID and your name on your passport has to be the same as your transcripts. It will also be used on immigration documents such as the I-20.

Depending on the U.S. University you have applied for, you will need to show sufficient funds for one year of Cost of Attendance (One Year Tuition Fee + One Year Living Expenses). Once you have met the Academic, English Language and Financial requirements, the university will issue you the I-20, which would be used to pay for your SEVIS and apply for your F-1 visa.
