Establishes the John McCain public service scholarship fund to be administered by the Commission for Postsecondary Education, funded by legislative appropriations that do not lapse.

Provides scholarships equal to the amount of federal postservice education awards for students who complete national service programs and subsequently receive federal postservice education awards.

Requires scholarship recipients to demonstrate good academic standing, use funds within three years of completing service, and spend federal awards before accessing state scholarship monies.

Appropriates $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2019-2020, with subsequent appropriations of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in FY 2020-2021 and up to $3,000,000 in FY 2021-2022, contingent on prior-year scholarship disbursement levels.

Awards scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible applicants who provide proof of meeting program requirements.
