Answer 2

If you're a good student and you get into a decent PhD program, they should fund you. In fact, I don't generally recommend students get a PhD unless they are at least partially funded, and ideally, fully funded by the university.

The university would pay your tuition and perhaps even give you a small stipend. You may need to do some work for them, perhaps as a research assistant, in exchange. You should speak to the PhD programmes that you're considering to discuss.

Many PhD programs have funding.

Make sure you find a PhD that has sufficient funding. The links below might be helpful.
