For one thing, we hope to attract new blood: we hope to gain some new active developers via these projects. While we already have several very active contributors, these people are already mostly busy in specific subprojects and tasks. New people mean new ideas, new energy, and new ways of thinking. Therefore, a longer lasting engagement of our student contributors would be our highest hope.

Furthermore, all of our developers work on ScummVM in their spare time. But for certain tasks, it's simply best if you can spend a certain time working on this task more or less exclusively -- i.e., just what we would get via the SoC.
Furthermore, all of our developers work on ScummVM in their spare time. But for some tasks, it's most effective if you can spend a certain block of time working on this task exclusively; just what we would get via the SoC.
Hence, we hope to gain some nice shiny new code providing useful new functionality to our users and developers. Even if the authors don't stick around, this will benefit all of the ScummVM community.
