Yes it can be true. Each college is required to have a Satisfactory Academic Progress policy that you need to meet to keep your financial aid. If your school is based on hours attended instead of credits, you may very well have a certain percentage of hours that you need to attend in order to remain eligible. You also will need to maintain a certain GPA as well, usually a 2.0. The government wants to make sure you are actually attending and completing the education that they are helping you pay for, so it's pretty much common sense that they will have standards you need to meet.
You do not lose financial aid for missing a few days of class, but you can lose it for dropping below a certain grade. What they are trying to do is make sure that you attend class so that your grades will not drop.
By the way, since this is a beauty college, one of the reasons that you do have to make it to class is it is very hands on
