My Unweighted GPA is a 3.83 and the potential C is in an advanced class. If my GPA goes below a 3.7, I lose my scholarship. I could still fix it but I’m not sure how much I can do. I’m a junior.
Nobody can answer this without knowing how many classes you’ve taken.
Put all of your grades into a spreadsheet (i.e. Google Sheets), and you’ll be able to compute all of the hypotheticals easily. Good luck!

Calculating a grade point average is a simple math word problem.
Add up the grade points* for each semester grade that you have and possible grades for this semester, then divide by the number of grades.
*Usually A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0, but check your school (or the entity that the grade point average is calculated for, if it specifies a specific type of calculation) if different values are used, such as if +/- adds/subtracts a portion of a point.

You are right on the edge. “It depends” is not simply a tautology - a C could put you just above or just below 3.7.
The whole question seems rather odd. What is your plan? To work just hard enough to get the bare minimum to keep your scholarship? That sounds like a dangerous plan.
Scholarship for what? You are a HS junior.
Are you still planning to graduate from high school after this year? Perhaps this needs to be reconsidered….as was suggested in your other thread.
“i got caught for academic dishonesty(this was my first and last time) and will get detention. It’s going on my transcript. Will this ruin my chances of getting into UTD, UNT, etc.? I’m a junior. If it will completely ruin my chances then I’m thinking of graduating early, going to community college for a year, and transferring. Since this is a first time infraction I’ll ask if they can give me leeway this one time by not putting it on my transcript, but it likely will go on my record. What should I do?”
Are you really considering graduating high school a year early because of an academic dishonesty thing?

No I’ve reconsidered and decided to take dual credit next year. There’s a scholarship program at a small noncompetitive college that offers scholarships to people with 3.7 GPAs or higher, which I need since I’m going into social work. As you guys said in the other thread, going to a school with a high tuition isn’t a good idea.
And what GPA would you need to maintain to keep that scholarship in college?
No, I just needed some reassurance since my teacher for this specific class is much more rigorous than what I’m used to.
There are online GPA calculators you can find with a google search.
