For CBSE Merit scholarship you can download the forms from the site

www.cbse.nic.in

There are two scholarships in which you are eligible
1. CBSE Merit Scholarship
2. CBSE Merit schlorship for AIEEE

In the first scholarship the selection is done on the basis of your marks in AISSCE.

And in the second one the selection is done on the basis os you All India Rank in AIEEE.

All the best.
