Abstract: The study examined the impact of faculty mentoring/mentoring functions on academic success of the students in case of similar gender and cross gender mentoring relationships. Data has been collected from 400 college students. To examine the moderating effect of gender, stepwise regression has been run between four mentoring supports and academic success. Findings indicate that in case of same gender of mentor and mentee, mentoring has more impact on academic performance of the students. This indicates that mentoring functions give significantly more positive outcomes related to the academic success of the students in case of same gender as compared to the cross gender mentoring relationships. Similar gender mentoring relationship also increased the benefits of the mentoring and significantly improved the academic outcomes. So far, no study has examined how similarity in terms of gender of mentor and mentee affects mentee's academic success.
