If a PhD program sees you as a serious candidate then the program itself will give you a tuition waiver and a stipend. If they do not give you such resources then they may not see you as much more than a source of money and may not consider you a serious candidate so I don't recommend pursuing the program there.
http://fastweb.com has information for college scholarships, perhaps they have ones for higher-level degrees as well.

Most schools offer PhD candidates aid. You can play them off against each other to get a better offer. However, I agree with the others here who've said that you should regard not having an offer as a bad sign. This can indicated that you've picked a mentor who has no pull in the department or nobody in your department is interested enough to fight for you. Neither of these things are good news. You can get through a master's degree without anybody pulling for you, but its pretty much impossible when pursuing a PhD.

If you're good enough, they'll pay for you to go there. If you're not, I wouldn't suggest pursuing a PhD in that program.
www.gradview.com has wonderful grad school search engine. Each website will tell you what a typical scholarship package entails. Look for outside scholarships as well, but the most valuable will be from the individual university itself.

Most PHD programs use graduate students as Teachers Aides. That's where you try to explain what the professor was saying in really bad English, or some other language entirely, to a group of undergrads that could care less.
Anyway, that is what pays for it.
