Universities to pay cash incentives to attract
students
Students
with high grades are offered money to join a specific university. New government
rules allow universities to take unlimited numbers of sixth formers gaining at
least two As and a B at A-level. Universities use thousands of pounds to
attract well performing students to their institutes. A downside for
universities who can’t afford to offer such privileges for students is that
they will miss out on a few well performing students. Other institutions might
be forced to compete in prices with the other higher ranked universities.
From the
student point of view this is a great system which motivates them to study
harder. I wish that we had such a system here in the Netherlands. For me it
felt like just passing the subjects is enough. Such money paid to well
performing students would definitely motivate me to do more for school. On the
other hand, I think that they money can be spent better. Universities are
partly funded by the government. So it’s going to be tax payer’s money which
will be given away to students. There are other ways to motivate students.

"There are other ways to motivate students."
Give examples if you say that kind of things.
As you said, this could be a very effective way of motivating students to get high marks because although expanding your knowledge is rewarding on itself, money always helps. In Spain we have something similar (Excellence Grants) and if you are one of the top students of your course you can get 3000 euros.
