Master's thesis support

<p>My master’s thesis is not due until I graduate, which, God willing, will be May 2008. My graduate advisor won’t even discuss my thesis until the Fall of 2007. I am gunning for a research/thesis award so I am starting early. I want to begin this summer. According to the department we are in an “exploratory” stage, which I began when I started the program Fall of 2006. Does anyone know of any good grad student support sites? My school only has a partial research refund grant, which means not much really. Most people who have gone through this program have received no funding at all. So I am also trying to get outside funding and I have no idea how to do this, any help?</p>
