In the UK, yes if your research is worthwhile.
The government here has several research councils which pay people to do PhDs (e.g. the ESPRC). In addition many companies sponsor PhDs, since it's often a much cheaper way of getting research done than employing someone from industry and setting up labs, equipment, supervision etc. for them.
This is why I use the word "worthwhile". If your PhD is in, say, biochemistry then there may be a few pharmaceutical companies that'll be interseted in your results, and hence interested in sponsoring you. If your PhD is in Beethoven's favourite flavour of crisps, you're going to be struggling.
I'd expect similar arguments to be true worldwide, but I don't know.

Depends on the country and the university but I'll put it this way; it's much easier to get financial aid for a PhD than it is for an undergraduate degree. Good luck.

Definitely, in most cases it is easier to get financial aid while trying to get your PhD. For instance, the Medical College of Wisconsin has a program that offers to give students who are accepted into the MSTP a free ride.

usually in spite of stipend you get carry of as a graduate student will conceal very elementary housing and different minor expenses. Federal graduate student help (which you're easily eligible for) is oftentimes especially constrained so maximum graduate scholars are funded interior the path of the college, nonetheless this does rely on the sector to a definite quantity. usually you would be anticipated to paintings for this money as a TA or RA.

I don't think so. Financial aid from the Department of Education ends with the bachelors. You might be able to apply for private money. You should been able to find out some information online.
