It may depend on where in Europe you're planning to study, but I rather doubt your application would be judged on anything other than the formal acceptance critera.
However, some financial assistance may only be available for younger people. E.g. to receive BAföG funding for a master's degree in Germany, you'd usually need to be younger than 35, unless you can prove special hardship.
FWIW, during my undergrad I was in a study group with a 60-year-old who was just passing the time until his official retirement.
