Yes, you are eligible to apply for scholarships for your master's studies in Sweden, given your strong academic record and substantial work experience.

Swedish universities offer merit-based scholarships to international students, often covering full tuition fees. However, these scholarships are highly competitive:
- Uppsala University: About 2% of applicants receive scholarships (current/typical rate).
- KTH Royal Institute of Technology: Selection rate is around 8% for master's scholarships (current/typical rate).

Your chances depend on the program, scholarship, and strength of your application. Applying to multiple scholarships and submitting strong, well-prepared applications early can improve your prospects.
