I would think they'd be sent to that one club (whichever it is, I have no idea) because that one club has the best/better facilities, coaching etc compared to others. Gives the players the best opportunity to progress their game under those sorts of conditions.

The university student scholarships are paid for by the University so I imagine they have some expectation that the money they spend goes towards developing their affiliated clubs?
Yea that would be fine if they were simply University scholarships. But they are Football South scholarships through the polytech and the university. It would be fine if Football South wasn't the main instigator of the scholarship. By no way am I knocking the University providing a scholarship for good players to come down here.
The university club just does not have the changing member base and variable availability during holidays / exams going for them. In order to develop the game in the region, you would think that getting good players down here and staying here would be the point of these scholarships.
