In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:
/ o' I5 F) Q& J; E" F1 B1 i" ?: `# ?3 u% b2 L; J4 [; B- t+ V
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."  z" p3 y2 p7 z: o0 }- k; Z9 K7 L

+ W# `: {2 _& \"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
3 n* O2 w* r  `2 Y8 u" z3 Y% h, t% M1 m+ P& }. G
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:
, W: V' R8 ^2 H! u# P
: f6 V" h' R+ J"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
/ k, a% ~, f4 k" {  ~4 Y8 U4 a9 ?  p% v4 {9 |6 |
"He rejected my idea."

"I applied for the job but was rejected."

Some other differences that come to mind:
* G8 ?4 }$ E! j$ @# H
! f( F( m+ A& Z* ?+ u2 Z7 C"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.- t+ v+ e6 g; k1 u8 Z; w9 u5 D

" S8 ^3 U8 Q4 M+ {8 n$ t! z4 X2 u$ U  |"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
( Q" g- {" @' k* R1 a) s
  w/ b5 I+ p2 E  OYou 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.2 `2 _9 H5 w8 M5 d6 H7 x+ G8 D

There is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle.- f) t9 Y: w+ d. Y6 G/ y! f7 U

Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something. 8 x# B% _5 [5 q7 {, F

"I refuse to answer that question. No! I will not do it!"( U+ F/ p' B9 ^0 o3 @! c9 W$ F

Reject can be used to not accept something that is broken, not working properly, not in good shape/order.

"The company will reject any application that doesn't have a cover letter attached."
