Yes it's true but it depends on how much your parents own. This is called Education Maintenance Allowance (i.e. EMA)
Have a look at:

Apparently if you are entitled to EMA, how much you get a week depends on your parent's income & if you attend classes, etc, you get extra cash. My brother is currently claiming EMA & got some extra cash just for attending college and having a good attendance record.

Yes you get EMA, I think that your parents combined income has to be below #30k. It goes on your attendance per week and I think that you also get a quarterly bonus if you have 100% attendence. You get your forms from your local education authority. Hope this helps

It is £30.00 per week but it can be reduced if you do not attend lessons, also that is based on how much income comes into the family.
