NO!

Sand is a non-polar molecule, meaning the electrons and protons are equally pull on each other in the molecule,

Water is a Polar molecule, Meaning the electrons are shared unequally (In this case, the Oxygen atom has the majority of the electrons)

The thing is, polar molecules can not absorb non polar molecules, And you know, When a solvent dissolves a soluble, all that is really happening is that the Solvent is taking apart the solubles molecules.

How can sugar be separated from a mixture of sand and sugar?

Pour the mixture into enough water that all the sugar will dissolve. Sand does not dissolve in water, so the sand will settle to the bottom of the solution and then you can sift the sand out of the solution. Then you will just have sand and sugar water, which can evaporate, leaving the sugar behind in the container.
