The John McCain Public Service Scholarship Fund matches AmeriCorps funds in AZ. Introduced by @aaron4az in the AZ House, the bill has broad bipartisan support.
“#HB2321, sponsored by state Rep. Aaron Lieberman, D-Phoenix, would call for $1 million in scholarship funds to go toward the newly created program. Twelve lawmakers from both political parties cosponsored the bill. “ https://t.co/VkiNyiKcev
"There is no higher pursuit than to serve a cause greater than oneself." @SenJohnMcCain
