This clue might be a double definition.

'prize' is the first definition.
(as in the Nobel Prizes)

'swede?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nobel that I've seen before include "and 21 Across: Prestigious international award" , "6 24 113 [SCAN-DIN-AVIAN] chemist" , "Philanthropic Swede noted for establishing international prizes" , "Founder of many prizes" , "Prize guy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
