Answer is: True.

For example chemical reaction: NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ ⇄ NH₃ + H₂O ΔH>0 or
heat + NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ ⇄ NH₃ + H₂O.
This is endothermic reaction.
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, because heat is increased, system consume that heat, so equilibrium is shifted to right, by decreasing concentration of reactants and increasing concentration of product.
