Nebraska's welding programs cost nearly the same everywhere
All 6 programs are public community colleges, and it shows in the pricing: Central Community College in Grand Island is the cheapest at $3,360, and Northeast Community College in Norfolk is the priciest at $3,840. Just $480 separates the two ends.
Median tuition across all 6 programs is $3,645, far below the $4,728 national median across 916 programs. There's no private premium to pay in Nebraska, because there's no private program in the state's list.
6 programs, no clear hub
Grand Island carries 1 program, the same as Omaha. With only 6 programs statewide, no city functions as a real training hub the way larger states have one. 2 of the 6 programs co-locate an AWS Accredited Test Facility, worth checking before assuming a separate test trip is required; see what AWS Certified Welder testing involves.
Lincoln, NE and Omaha, NE both carry their own shop directories below, for finding work after training rather than during it.
