I'd say:

Soy elegible para.... (I am eligible for...)

The dictionary also says:

Tengo los requisitos para.... (I am eligible for...) (I have the requirements for....)

That's more like having the skills for something. - 00e657d4, Dec 2, 2009

Estoy elegible para.... (I am eligible for...)

I would say that "soy" is more appropriate here:

Soy elegible para....

The second option is correct. You can also say:

Cumplo los requisitos para....

You are welcome. I'm not sure "estoy" is wrong. It just sounds odd to me. - 00e657d4, Dec 2, 2009
