application information to the Secretary under EDE; or
    (2) Sending an approved application form to the Secretary.
    (c) The student shall provide the address of his or her residence 
unless the student is incarcerated and the educational institution has

the student shall provide the address indicated by the institution.
    (d) For each award year the Secretary, through publication in the
