How to Get a Full Scholarship for a Dirextra Master Through Regione Puglia

If you are a resident of Puglia and hold a university degree, you could be eligible for a full scholarship that covers the tuition and living expenses of a Master programme abroad.

Thanks to the "Pass Laureati 2025" initiative by Regione Puglia, graduates can access funding for high-level postgraduate education abroad — including our internationally recognised Dirextra Master courses in Manchester.

In this article, we’ll walk you through who is eligible, what the scholarship covers, how to apply, and why it’s a game-changer for young professionals looking to work in construction, infrastructure, energy or project management.

What Is the "Pass Laureati 2025" Programme?

The Pass Laureati voucher is a financial support scheme promoted by Regione Puglia to help young graduates access advanced education opportunities abroad. The funding is provided through the Regional Operational Programme (ROP) co-funded by the EU.

The voucher can cover up to €19,000 in total, including:

• Master tuition fees (up to €10,000)
• Living expenses (up to €9,000)

This means you can attend a prestigious international master without paying out of pocket.

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible, you must:

• Be a resident of Puglia
• Hold a Bachelor’s, Master’s or single-cycle degree
• Not have already received a Pass Laureati scholarship in the past

You can apply even if you have already been admitted to a master programme.
