You don't need to roll him $1000+ - people who are learning from scratch should be limited by experience and skill level, not bankroll - if he puts in a month or two of solid winning poker at any level he will automatically be rolled to move up anyway.

The two reasons that loads of bright kids round here go bust are inability to mentally cope with downswings (it's the lack of control over them that tilts/demoralizes them) and moving up too fast - both are often caused by a sense of entitlement and overestimation of one's own abilities.

Earning your own roll is a crucial part of the poker experience - it can't be replaced by a study plan, $1000 and some books..
