Some lucky teens and early 20-somethings are about to get the surprise of a lifetime.
 

Stars including Usher, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Nick Cannon and Darren Criss will be shocking students on a new MTV show calledRandom Acts of mtvU. But don't expect this to be another Punk'd!

Instead of playing jokes, the musicians are surprising college kids from around the country with a surpise they'll actually want – including $24,000 in tuition finding, VIP tickets, invites to a red carpet event and more. 

The show, which starts Monday and will air throughout the week on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU at 4 p.m. ET, selected college students who are giving back to their community. Check out a preview of the new show here:
