To ‘Register’ for a NETFOCUS gateway account, make sure you pick the email / password option and not the CAC card option.
Create a pin (which can be anything, don’t use your SSN for this pin).
Select a security image. This image is only used in the event that you forget your password upon future logins.
After your initial registration, you will receive an email with a link to activate your NETFOCUS gateway user account. This email will include a temporary password that must be changed on the first login to the gateway.
Follow the link and you will then log into the gateway and be forced to enter your new password.
Your password must follow these rules:
Between 15-30 characters in length
contain at least 1 lower-case letter
contain at least 1 upper-case letter
contain at least 1 special character
cannot contain any part of user’s name
cannot contain spaces
must be different than any of the previous ten passwords, must be changed every 60 days
After you log into the NETFOCUS gateway you will click on the NRSA (NROTC Scholarship Application) link.
When you first start your application you will be required to input your social security number and birth date as additional security precautions. Please make sure these items are correct.
All following logins to the application will only require you to enter your email and password.
If either the 30-day inactivity or 45-day delete actions happen your application will not be deleted and once you get your gateway account working again upon your next login you will be taken to your application again.
