Here is the official list from the FAA. Enjoy:

Find the school that will take the most of your credits without making you duplicate effort since you already have a degree. UND looks to be pretty accepting if you already have an accredited degree (save about 60 credits in transfer of general/core subjects/use around 18 mos of GI Bill up to CFI), plus you get 500 hours off your RATP since their program is approved. The downside is it is in North Dakota, which is the opposite of Florida!
Keep in mind that you'll still have to flight instruct/tow banners/drop skydivers/throw boxes etc. for around 750 hours. Unfortunately, the GI Bill doesn't offer a way to build time or experience.
