In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:
  m, ?$ Q9 Y3 s/ D7 y( ~( K. H# p3 t7 u) K' l6 p( x% x
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."' f0 [' v, o$ V4 @9 W

- j* Y8 u! h2 @"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."8 r- o/ t1 E+ G  l7 Z4 z

& A% b7 T0 Y/ F0 {, `In other contexts, "to reject something" implies that something is taken into one's possession, or is under one's consideration, but is then a decision is subsequently taken to return or discard it. In these cases, "reject" is often preferred to "refuse". For example:
" i2 J! D. R! H0 ]: a2 l5 I9 L7 d
; Y' e: E- o, a4 K. r"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
& k0 n9 y9 g3 x7 p3 ?( N8 `
; W9 v: `4 N% ~' {1 _8 J"He rejected my idea."
2 p% c( D0 V. f$ E7 y( G: u7 s* a
6 m9 m4 V  \& j% @; t, t"I applied for the job but was rejected."
7 t! j4 q, G- X) L( @# ]' ^1 {7 s! L* Y2 P
Some other differences that come to mind:
( h( g( [6 ]  b2 ^" p2 D) _  ^/ G2 e" \/ U# M
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
% A8 }1 ~" |3 H$ j% w5 e: U( Y+ z  a" z( Y$ h+ O" D6 Z! @$ b
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
$ o: s: |: m& b1 N3 @& B# o2 ~3 @: u+ `. A
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.

There is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle.

Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.
