The University of Texas at San Antonio is the latest public university to achieve the distinctive statewide Tier One status, which qualifies the school for access to $6 million in state funding annually to help attract prominent scholars and improve university research initiatives.It is the fifth public university in the state to qualify for the state's National Research University Fund, which was created in 2009. The idea was to encourage eight public universities in Texas to invest in research and improve their national standing as research universities, which is often provided to flagships like the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University.
