At chapter each week we pass around a jar, and if you did well on an assignment you write your name and the class, assignment, and grade on it and put it in the jar. Near the end of chapter our scholarship chair pulls out one paper and reads it, and gives them a small prize (we call it the "Highlight of the Week"). If you have a small chapter or have time, I would like to encourage you read ALL of the papers to commend everyone.
My only other suggestion is to be careful with rewards for the amount of As or Bs a certain person gets. Problems with this system include people not being honest about what was a major exam, a project, or a small quiz. Also, remember that all professors grade differently, some profs give several exams throughout the semester and some only give 2. My final thought on the grade rewards is that for majors like mine (engineering) you could get a 60% on both your major exams and then after the curve get an A or B in the class.
Right now my chapter does a "monthly major" program, but I wish that it was more like weekly, and that sisters could individually talk about their program and the specific requirements and demands it puts on a student.
