Of course. All highly regarded graduate programs do this.
But the support is not called a scholarship.
Usually, top candidates are offered full tuition remission as well as a stipend. This support can come in the form of a fellowship, or an assistantship (teaching or research). Fellowships require no service, but assistantships usually require about 20 hours a week of working as a teaching assistant or research assistant.
Grad students choose graduate programs by weighing both the reputation of the program and the level of support they are offered.

Most schools offer graduate assistantships or teaching assistantships. An example of one is where you work 20 hours per week, get a small salary & benefits, and also have your tuition paid. The ones I know of are union employees (that's why they get benefits). Generally schools hire their own undergraduates who have excelled in their major. Check out the web page for the graduate school or financial aid at the schools you are interested in.

It depends on your program. Engineering - yes. You and your professor will work together to find funding for you if you can get accepted to an Engineering program. English major - no.
This isn't usually a scholarship from the university. It's a research fellowship from the DOD, a corporation, or whomever your professor is research partners with.

Yes, there are programs out there that will do that. You need to apply to a program where there is a shortage of applicants but a big demand for the graduates. My daughter is doing such a program now in mechanical engineering and design, sponsored by a mining company. Often there are good options for women who want to enter "male dominated" fields. Consider your own interests and skills and begin to research what is out there. For example, think about where you might like to work and then find out where and how they recruit their employees. Good luck with it.

A lot of them do. Engineering, science, and math programs have really generous funding. Medical programs do not.
Usually, you need a really amazing GPA (3.8 is great, but not that amazing), outstanding GRE scores (above 700), great TOEFL score if you're not native, AND good recommendations from professors who know you.

Yes. Even Harvard will (not with a 3.8 obviously). In many grad programs including medicine, law, and business.

Some schools will allow doctoral students to work as teaching assistants, which would give the student free tuition and usually a small stipend.

no person is going to truly check out your undergrad artwork in case you have a graduate degree, so the main income of going to a physically powerful college for undergrad is to get right into a physically powerful grad college. Columbia might settle for you from a public college in case you do truly nicely, extremely in case you bypass to a extra suitable one.
