Native Detroiter Wayne Dyer is setting up a $1-million scholarship fund at Wayne State University, his alma mater. The Wayne Dyer Memorial Fund will be in place by fall and will be set aside for Detroit-area students in need. Dyer said the university gave him a break when it admitted him in the early 1960s and now he wants to give back to the community where he grew up. Dyer started college in September 1962; eight years later, he had earned bachelor\'s and master\'s degrees and a PhD. He became a well-known author with his best-selling book, \"Your Erroneous Zones.\"
