Jimmy Fallon gave three University of Texas at Austin students the surprise of their lives.

All this week, "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" filmed in Austin, Texas, and on Friday night's episode he called Alma Zamora, Elizabeth Yun and Fitzgerald Alan onto the stage to announce Samsung was going to pay the rest of their college tuition bills.

Fallon first told them that they had won new smartphones and other gadgets in a holiday bundle. Then, while posing for a selfie dropped the bombshell.

"Since we're the Tonight Show and we're at UT, Samsung wanted to take it up a notch. Listen carefully. Samsung is going to pay for the remainder of your college tuition," he said.

The students cried and screamed in shock as balloons and confetti dropped from the ceiling.
