ISPP Application Process
Applicants to the ISPP Track do not complete the DICAS application and do not go through the
matching process. Applicants will complete the KADDI-ISPP Application. There is no fee to
apply. Additionally, applicants must submit the following:
-
Official transcripts from all institutions attended showing the confer date of the degree.
-
Doctoral Degree can be “in progress” at the time of application submission, an applicant can be conditionally accepted if he/she meets admissions requirements.
-
The applicant will be fully admitted to the program once Doctoral Degree is conferred.
-
Three letters of recommendation from professional references (professors, faculty mentors, supervisors, etc.)
-
Current resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV)
-
Statement of Intent on why you are seeking the RDN credential (as part of the ISPP application)
There is no application deadline. Applications will be considered once all application materials
have been received. Please allow 2 – 4 weeks for application materials to be reviewed.
Admission to the ISPP track is on a rolling basis.

I do think that KADDI helped push me to chase my dreams of wanting to start my own business here in the near future. I also think it allowed me to gain confidence more quickly given I did feel like I was on my own for most of it.
