Most grad students in the sciences dont' have to get loans to pay for school. The schools will almost always give you a deal. Either you get a fellowship, or you have to become a TA, and in return you get your tuition waived, and a living stipend. Even then, that's usually only for the first year. After that, you are supposed to be living off grant money from your thesis project/ one of your advisors projects.
