I'm amazed at how soon people jump to answer this without first asking a very basic question: Application for what?
Where does it say the topic is EU Settlement Scheme? Topic is EEA applications. Not the same thing.
This answer assumes the OP is asking for a EU Settlement scheme application, one of several possible applications for EEA nationals and their families.
This answer assumes the OP is asking for a EEA Residence Card application, another one of several possible applications for EEA nationals and their families.
By definition, any application for which EEA nationals and their family members are eligible, by the strength of their or their family member citizenship of a EEA state.
Do you know any other way than EU scheme for ERA application?
Not according to me, according to the Home Office itself. Check they have two very different pages:

Hi kameo I was following ur topic long time and couldn't find ur update what was the outcome of ur eu settlement application thank u

They require different eligibility criteria, and provide different benefits.
For instance, some key differences are:
- The EEA RC gives you visa-free travel to EU countires, while the Settlement Scheme card does not.
- The EEA permanent Residence card might in certain circumstances allow you to apply for British citizenship straight away, while the Settled Status card requires you to wait for a year.
For a full comparison, with pro's and con's of each option, please view this post, which has been extensively quoted many times in this forum whenever someone is unsure winch option to choose.
- You break your continuous residency period if you are absent from the UK for continuous 2 years or more with a EEA RC, the period is 5 years or more with a Pre-Settled status card.
