Do I need to provide proof of financial resources when applying for a graduate degree in an American school, or is it required only when applying for a visa?

This is only required when applying for a visa.

The U.S. study visa is the visa used to study in the United States. U.S. immigration law provides two non-immigrant visa categories for students studying in the United States. The "F" visa is issued to international students who come to the United States for academic study, while the "M" visa is issued to international students who come to the United States for non-academic or vocational study. To obtain a student visa, applicants must first apply to and be accepted by a U.S. school. When accepted, the school will issue an I-20 or I-20M form. This form must be presented when applying for a visa.
