It was a practice on the Catholic high school I studied (Santo Antonio Maria Zaccaria - Rio de Janeiro - Brazil) to pay an amount of money equal the value of the monthly fee for the three "best qualified" students in the classroom. But it didn't help most 'average people' to get best grades, only the ones that already studied very hard cared to be on the ranks;)
