The senior class of Summit Academy Charter School in Brooklyn, New York got a huge surprise Thursday while guesting on Ellen.

In one of the biggest giveaways in the history of her show, host Ellen DeGeneres secured full four-year college scholarships to any New York state university for each student in the class of 2017.

And if you've never seen an entire class of high school seniors find out they're all going to college for free, prepare for pure, unfettered joy.
