Swedish university is free and all students can apply to get an allowance whilst they are studying, as long as they fulfill all requirements (more information can be found on the CSN website).
This allowance is to cover expenses such as books and transportation, but in general it is not enough to pay for all living costs. Therefore there is also the possibility to apply for a student loan on top of this.
