It is possible for you to change your financial sponsorship for your schooling here in the States. The issue, however, would probably not come up again to the government unless you decided to go overseas and required a new visa to return to the country. Otherwise questions concerning your ability to maintain your schooling without working illegally would generally be a matter between you and the school issuing the I-20 or DS – 2019 documentation.

Hello. Since you are already here, a new sponsor will not be necessary. If your actual visa expires soon and you need a new visa in your passport, then, you can get a new sponsor. No one should be checking on his agreement to sponsor you.
