Proving you are able to pay the tuition to colleges in US

<p>in colleges in US, if you dont apply fin-aid they ll ask you to prove that you can pay off the tuition fee, then:
how much you need to prove? 1 year's tuition? or all 4 years
through what ways that you can prove it, can you just show that your parents bank account?</p>

<p>1 year, and yes.</p>

<p>can you show asset papers? will having less "cash" go against you?</p>

<p>all assets count as far as i know</p>

<p>only liquid assets count</p>

<p>oh my bad, i didnt mean houses, etc</p>

<p>by assets I thought you meant stocks, bonds, etc</p>
