Yes, apply for financial aid (grants, loans, work-study) as you are applying to colleges and universities. It's the only way to see what types and what amounts of funding is available to you. Remember that financial aid can be paid in addition to VA Educaiton Benefits - one doesn't disqualify from the other and one doesn't subtract from the other.

I think radiology tech and paramedic you can find AS degrees that you would get at your local community college. The GI Bill covers that for sure.
Good luck!
