You work as a TA and still go into debt with student loans. Of course, some departments (especially sciences and some branches of the med school, at least at UNC) actually waive the tuition and give you a small stipend. Its really going to depend on where you are going, I would advise you talk with admissions/financial aid at the institution you want to go to--they are used to answering questions like this all the time.
