MITACS questions and funding, dont know how things work!

[dapper]

Hey guys,

I have a few questions about funding with concerns to my MSc program. I know that my stipend from my school is ~17k, but my supervisor recently told me that she would like me to also be part of an internship with MITACS. Which I am totally game for. However I noticed in the little package she gave me that MITACS also has a 10k stipend with it. Does this mean that this would add onto the stipend from my university?? Im really not sure, and Im also kind of edgy about asking my supervisor and industrial partner who we're working with, because it really makes no difference Ill be glad to work with them regardless!

Im wondering this not because Im overly concerned with getting paid alot or anything, because Im glad to be working with this particular supervisor and its a great opportunity, but because Im looking into paying my student loans and housing costs and all that. Trying to get things sorted out for September!!

please let me know if you guys have any input!

Just ask. It's perfectly reasonable to inquire about funding, your supervisor or industrial partner won't exactly think you're greedy or anything.
