In 1974, he established Saud Albabtain Kuwaiti Scholarship for Postgraduate Studies[8] to help poor students continue their education and postgraduate studies in foreign universities.[8] It offers 400 scholarships annually to students from Central Asia, Africa, the Arab world, the Balkan countries,[25] and Europe.[7]
