It is definitely possible. Actually, through a combination of good scholarships, co-op, part time work, and other less-than-ideal events, I will graduate from college with about $100,000 in savings. My parents were willing to contribute $40,000 total, but their contribution in total will probably be about half that. And at this point (as a junior) I am making about as much money as my dad, now the only income.
Definitely not the norm, but it is not depressingly futile to graduate without debt. But I had to narrow down my college choices a lot based on finances and then work hard once I got there to fit all the pieces together.
