Explanation

In sentence 1, “will graduate” expresses a future action, so it is simple future; “go” is also understood with “will.” Sentence 2 uses “will be going,” which is future progressive because it combines “will be” with an -ing verb. Sentence 3 uses “will have earned,” the future perfect form, which describes an action completed by a future point.
