They can reapply  once more if they have only applied once before. After that I think they have to wait for a certain amount of time before they can reapply.

Invitation letter, copies of your transcripts, passports, I-20 , banks statements etc. i hope your parents included those as part of their application.

What did the embassy officials say when they denied the visa? Lack of ties to home country is the commonly cited reason. That means your parents will need to show they have a descent job in Nepal. If you have other siblings who are in Nepal, that would be a plus.

Documented proof of a permanent type of job might be helpful in showing ties to home country.

You should write a short letter in the name of the consular officer urging them to issue visa to your parents and make your case as to why your parents have strong reasons to go back to Nepal.  Maybe the embassy people will take notice the next time your parents apply.
