The site is akin to Facebook in that it lets students create a profile and send out invitations asking for sponsors to pledge whatever they please for each A — $1, $2 or more. Sponsors can also donate by subject area, giving money to students who ace, say, organic chemistry or film studies. For example, ZooToo.com, a website for pet enthusiasts, is GradeFund's first corporate sponsor, pledging $15 to the first 100 students each semester who earn an A in veterinary medicine.
When a student reaches $100 in donations, GradeFund mails them a check. (Students can withdraw the money before they reach the $100 mark for a $5 fee.) Kopko will be adding features to bring in revenue — including a job search engine that will let employers search for a computer science major who aced Spanish or any other equally specific set of skills.

Do you think this will be a bust or a boom with students?

Sweet. I get A's all the time and my Dad doesn't give a crap. (Nor does anyone else in my family...) So It'd be good to get a little pat on the back, in ca$h.
