In addition to the steps LTC Eugene Chu mentioned (especially joining the National Guard*), check with your state's Veterans Affairs Office to see if there are state programs/scholarships available for veterans residing in that state.
There are many resources to find scholarships for veterans*, you just need to do some creative internet searching.
If you have a disability rating of 10% or more from the VA, you might be eligible for VR&E if a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor determines you need it.
------------------------------------------------------
* Many states will fully fund a bachelor or graduate degree at a state university if you belong to the state's National Guard.

I faced the same situation. In my case, as long as I was enrolled in an approved university or college and pursuing a higher level degree . . . no problem, I got the rest of my months. That was my experience.
