I certainly like the idea. All that one has to do is now somehow combine it with a social factor where we can filter children without hurting their feelings. I.e, a student from a wealthy family who scores high deserves special attention, but giving a scholarship does not help the student, because the family can afford the tuition anyways.

Maybe you could split "reward" into two parts: a) some award that will be prestigious by itself (by being labeled as one of the top kids from the school); and b) financial help available for winners of a) with family income under X. Isn't it how US system works? Getting high SAT will get you to Harvard (prestige part of the reward), and if your family has income under $60K, your tuition is dropped (financial part of the reward selectively applied to poorer students).
