You're right. The differences were mentioned in the Live Letter, but it goes like this:
Arcanist has Carbuncle, and Carbuncle can take on different roles in battle.
Summoner has "egi"s, diluted forms of the Primals, each of which has different roles in battle. For example, Titan-egi would tank, Ifrit-egi might melee, and Garuda-egi might spellcast.
Scholar has a fairy, which assists in its Scholar's different spells and can change form slightly. Scholar was described as having whole-party buffs/healing such as Regen, as opposed to White Mage which has mostly single-target, high-intensity healing spells.
In-character, Kannadi will definitely head for Scholar, though she'll probably take exception to the exposed thighs...
