  1. Here's the scoop from the USCIS site on Student Visas:  

    The Immigration and Nationality Act provides two nonimmigrant visa categories for persons wishing to study in the United States. The "F" visa is reserved for nonimmigrants wishing to pursue academic studies and/or language training programs, and the "M" visa is reserved for nonimmigrants wishing to pursue nonacademic or vocational studies.

    F-Academic Students and M-Vocational Students Requirements

    Foreign students seeking to study in the U.S. may enter in the F-1 or M-1 category provided they meet the following criteria:

    The student must be enrolled in an "academic" educational program, a language-training program, or a vocational program;

    The school must be approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS);

    The student must be enrolled as a full-time student at the institution;

    The student must be proficient in English or be enrolled in courses leading to English proficiency;

    The student must have sufficient funds available for self-support during the entire proposed course of study; and

    The student must maintain a residence abroad which he/she has no intention of giving up.

  2. You can help out with some of the leg work, going to schools and developing points of contact and requesting information, etc., but it is up to your friend to initiate the process by applying to an accredited school in the US, getting an I-20 from the school, then making an F-1 visa appointment at the appropriate US foreign mission, preparing all of the necessary documents, and then being interviewed by a US consular officer.
