You can get other family members involved, but that will just cause drama. Just handle it yourself. Tell your brother to not ever tell someone you will give them money again.
Then go tell your stepsister's kid that you are proud of her.. Maybe slip her a c note and apologize to her that your brother promised what he did, but he had no idea what he was saying. And although you can pay her that, she should know that if she ever needs anything you are there for her.. And that the good thing us.. your brother is saving up to bring her and her mom to disney world over the summer.. And go tell your brother he better start saving his money because you just promised her he was taking them to disney world.

I think your brother should be beaten with a rubber hose

Your brother fricked up and there's no way a freshman or sophomore in HS should get $1k for a semester of straight A's.
That said, as others have pointed out, you do have an opportunity to help her break the cycle of poor decision-making that is apparently prevalent in her family. If you care about her and feel she has potential, you should serve as a mentor to help guide her through HS and college, stressing the importance of hard work. Be it having her over to hang out with you at your (presumably) nice house to shoot the shite and enjoy a nice evening around responsible people or taking her out for a nice dinner every other month, stay involved and provide that positive voice. I think by spending more time with her you'll quickly understand what you may feel is a solid reward for her performance and run with it. C.R.E.A.M. may have worked for the WuTang Clan but perhaps you'll come to find something more important that will motivate her through such a challenging time in her life.

If your brother actually told your step-niece that I would take the step-niece aside, maybe go out for ice cream or something if you have that good of a relationship, and explain that you had never said that and your brother was talking out of his arse. Then give her whatever you can afford for her all A's with the caveat that she never believe him again.
Later you may want to beat that money out of your brother.

Does the step-niece's home state offer college savings accounts that have some tax advantages?
One advantage being nobody but the designated recipient can touch the money.
Also, talk to the girl about money. About savings. Try to tell her things you and your wife have learned (and that her parents haven't, but be careful about how you say it.)

Go whip his arse like your daddy taught you.

This is really stupid. I wouldn’t pay anyone for grades, and I graduated summa cum laude.

Exactly!
$20 or some shite, I'd be annoyed but not angry.
$1,000 is insane.
An update would be cool. Did you whip his arse? Did you just tell him no, then quit speaking of it?
Where do things stand now?

I would slap my brother right in the teeth if he talked to me like that.

I cannot put up with his alcoholic behavior any more.
My mom is upset about it, but understands.
My wife is pissed at him.
Not a good ending.
Not entertaining.
