I really like this idea! Something along the same lines is what my high school offers for its graduating seniors. As a college freshman, you donate $5; sophomore year, $10; junior, $15; and senior, $20. Low amounts but they really add up once you add them all together.

For a FIRST alum, though, I think I like the idea of paying a percentage once you're self-sufficient and making money. (After all, a lot of college freshmen live off of ramen and don't have loads of money to spend elsewhere... exhibit A right here)
