In many fields, students do not need extra grants for funding. Startup funds, teaching assistantship (TA) and other sources fund PhD students. You can advise 3-5 students who TA at the same time, without writing grants. Some fields on the other hand need more external grants to fund students. It really is field-dependent.

This.

A mentor of mine is able to fund most of her students, save for maybe their final year, on TA-shps.

I'm in a purely research department - if I don't have funding for the full time, I don't have students.
