First, I don’t even know where to begin to research what I would get,
but can you people give me some idea of what’s the best free money I could expect to get for pursuing a Master’s in CS in the US?

I think the the least expensive / cost effect way to get a Masters in Computer Science is to work for a company that will fund it through their employee tuition reimbursement program.
At this time it is more important to get the work experience in than to get the Masters. It will be harder to get a job if you have the masters with no appreciable work experience.
You will feel that you want a higher salary because of what you know now that you have the advanced degree, while prospective employers will want to know what can you do and will want to pay you accordingly.
Yep. A MS in CS right after undergrad really only makes sense for someone who wasn’t an undergrad CS major.
