En 2005, en reconnaissance de ses nombreuses contributions, Tapia a été nommé « professeur d'université » à l'Université Rice de Houston, au Texas, titre universitaire le plus prestigieux. Cet honneur a été décerné à seulement six professeurs au cours des cent cinquante années d'histoire de Rice. Le 28 septembre 2011, le président Barack Obama a annoncé que Tapia figurait parmi les douze scientifiques à se voir attribuer la National Medal of Science, la plus haute distinction que les États-Unis offrent à leurs chercheurs.
