In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:
9 h7 x  u: A1 U7 A- P$ L0 N* ]7 M; d
3 \/ j0 ^+ Z6 r) n"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
6 L6 X! d! w( M7 y" h4 j
% W8 Q1 P; ~3 g& u0 M2 ~"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
* q# ^/ Q6 f& k% a" @8 j
( ^9 u; x" \6 l% `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:) s  j' v- Z3 R

! g" z4 C1 R0 V+ M$ e" v"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
4 u; \3 u( i7 R" y# D8 z: p+ q' Q- e8 [/ s' D4 @
"He rejected my idea."
. p6 u6 x: k: v7 i* `; @
6 t) ~0 ~8 h  p& R"I applied for the job but was rejected."
- l2 \7 S& J, e9 R5 f* q
' @' b- l' b. r) B# T9 H5 PSome other differences that come to mind:4 u. \3 t- v" |' T) Y
% D- V6 f! V+ \
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
) b" z( m/ g$ }) w4 R: h: a+ W
: Z( \+ r! W: n& n4 _"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
% |( z6 Q, S4 e+ F; Y2 V6 {2 R, k+ i: d4 u
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

9 @' ?: D; O& Z1 q% h* D
They are synonyms and can often be used in the same sentence. Both mean you do not receive or accept something (a physical thing or an idea, suggestion, etc.).
/ Z+ i% b5 H7 k/ I- S; i+ T# }* E"I refused / rejected his job offer."
9 D; E. g. t& RDifference in Grammar:
9 P9 P$ d+ u, T* u8 V% T"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.
/ L, p9 Q! _# t+ A0 q: s
: x  t- c& F$ nThere is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle." K8 S: C9 u; {- }/ d7 a1 R

$ s5 K" ~% C1 S  DRefuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.

' u+ o) j4 P$ O' }% U
Reject can be used to not accept something that is broken, not working properly, not in good shape/order.
