You've gotten some great advice from the above posters.

I was scholarship chair of my sorority (although we're a local, so your mileage may vary), and what I found was that a lot of people have the smarts, but other "things" get in the way. Like we had a few people who would sometimes oversleep their 8 am lecture. At the time I was working early morning shifts at the gym I worked at, 5-8. So during my 7.30 break/cleanup time, I'd call those that requested it and made sure they got up. Just being in class improves grades by MILES.

On the incentives front, we offered a discount in dues for sisters that achieved over x GPA per semester. Dunno if this would fly in your organization because you've got a different fees structure, but it worked quite well for us, and it really upped our GPA. I know saving that 10 or so dollars at the beginning of a term was always a lifesaver for me.
