One of the requirements to apply for a Schengen visa to Germany from the US is

  • reference letter from your employer

I'm a student in a university. Do I just need a document confirming that I'm enrolled as a student? Or something more?

    How long are you staying? In most cases US nationals don't need any visa at all.

The idea behind the employment letter is strong ties to your home country and steady income, and since you are not an employee this will not be required. A student ID should do.

However, since you are a student you will need to prove that you can fund your trip, a good bank account statement or a letter from the sponsor will be mandatory.

    Also might help to provide a letter from the university stating how long your break is and when you're expected to resume studies (or the university starts its next term, if you're going in a mid-term break). I was asked about my summer break duration when I went for the visa interview and given a visa accordingly.
