Funds Availability for Study Permit

Hi,
I have just finished my under graduation and I have been accepted at University of Calgary for MSc in Electrical Engineering. University is giving $20000 in 1st year and $18000 in 2nd year of my study in any combinations of Scholarship and assistant ships(specified in this way only, no details in the offer letter). Tuition fee for 1st year is $6500 and $2400 in 2nd year which leaves me with $13500 and $15600 in two consecutive years for living expanses. Canadian Embassy requires $10000/per year for living expanses. My financials look pretty good based on these calculations but all the funding stated above is subjected to my academic performance during MSc. Can I get study permit by showing this financial offer letter alone as proof of financial support or do I have to show some other sort of funding like bank accounts etc?

I think it is always better to show you have enough fund even without University support

I have only $18000 in bank accounts but total required is approx $30000.

I'm from a visa exempt country and when I moved for grad school, I was in a pretty similar situation. I had a bit of money in the bank, but most of my income was from scholarships and grants. Honestly, I don't know how it typically works, but I didn't have an issue.
