Futures

How do I keep my Bright Futures?
Q. I have a Bright Futures scolarship and I think I might get a D in one of my classes. Right now my GPA is a 3.0. What are the requirements for keeping my scholarship? And if I decide to switch from my university to a community college will I still keep my schalorship?

A. The eligibility requirements to renew a Bright Futures Scholarship depend on the level of scholarship that you are receiving. If you are a Florida Academic Scholar, you must maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 to be renewed for the following year. If you are a Florida Medallion Scholar, you must maintain an overall GPA of 2.75 to be renewed. A Florida Academic Scholar who does not maintain the required 3.0 GPA is automatically renewed as a Florida Medallion Scholar if their cumulative GPA falls between 2.75 and 2.99. As you are probably aware, this is a lower level of scholarship support, which pays only 75% of tuition and allowable fees each year. No matter what type of Bright Futures scholarship a student receives - if their cumulative… [cont.]

How do i use a calender spread to profit if i know the spread between two futures is widening/narrowing?
Q. I only know the the spread in prices will widen/narrow and i have no other market information (do not know which way the market is going to move). Is there anyway i can put on a spread to profit from only knowing that the price difference between futures in two different months is going to widen/narrow?

A. If you expect the spread to narrow, sell the more expensive future and buy the less expensive future. Your initial credit will be equal to the difference between the two. After the difference decreases (or after you decide your inital expectation was incorrect) close both position. If you expect the spread to widen, sell the less expensive future and buy the more expensive future. Your initial debit will be equal to the difference between the two. After the difference increases (or after you decide your inital expectation was incorrect) close both position. If both futures have the same underlying asset but different months, the spread will be a calendar spread.

What looks good in your college application if you want to get a scholarship for bright futures?
Q. I really want to get a scholarship for bright futures scholarship and attend the University of Miami. I am only a freshmen but I want to know all the requirements so i can start early (not like seniors that wait to do community service late because they have bad grades). So should i join any certain clubs? What kind of community service should I do (besides working in a hospital or helping the elderly, my consular said those were not acceptable). P.S my GPA is a 3.46 is that good ?

A. I'm sorry I don't know what to put in your scholarship application, but I know all about participating in clubs, activities and community service. If you are involved in athletics, try to make it year round (even if this means adding a sport you want to do just for fun), also as a junior and senior you should be involved in NHS (National Honor Society) if grades allow it, also try to become a member of as many clubs as you can and are interested in (if there aren't many clubs at your school or none you are interested in, suggest a new club and ask a teacher you are close to who you think would be willing to sponsor you to help...this would be the best on an application). Make a difference in all the clubs/sports you are in so you can say " [cont.]
