In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:# f  }2 [0 E0 a( C) I4 I! x
5 [/ P5 B" {. I. w; t5 B
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
3 ~  w- |: I7 e/ `; l9 y. ~
2 n; B! n$ G+ L$ R+ ^2 Z"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
3 U) f, \  _4 n- e9 L0 g
" @9 i3 T4 m& d  q! u$ T# FIn 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:
1 \& e0 @1 M; D. {  I9 `% E' i% r# P" s% q
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
2 z, K7 t7 m: y# x* |4 N( V

1 e* _, L/ E6 M; W( C1 E& C6 Q4 ?: e2 u! x$ E+ r- s
"I applied for the job but was rejected."
* c7 K: N: q( g& |# x) `3 y7 i  ?( d/ m4 t9 Q8 L( M
Some other differences that come to mind:
5 a$ N2 d( V# n; m3 M$ w- F3 K! O2 W* W9 M
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.$ C$ C7 M7 R+ {" v& ^( s
; z# G4 n+ y$ O! V! o
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.  U7 h. I6 R- O7 T+ x
0 o, i* H# I) e8 a: T
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

& Q$ q4 C- s$ e( @/ D- n$ }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.).
. k8 y, g& d, ~- h2 I! p"I refused / rejected his job offer."
! ?9 Z  \6 {; e+ IDifference in Grammar:) V; O, k2 \) h- p2 f
"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.9 z% O3 ^* Y. F6 L
( @* ?2 ^) a5 n$ t2 A! U# ^
There is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle.
& [6 j, m3 n" |. x7 Z  ]- j2 }/ p. ?
Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something. / t) P; X/ P2 H# `3 X

"I refuse to answer that question. No! I will not do it!"
7 D( w. \; ^5 m- i( H- S% e* L: S' @% K! d' E" x+ ^! C0 v, y
Reject can be used to not accept something that is broken, not working properly, not in good shape/order." k- m3 k" V; x
" p: A: {1 k6 T& [6 i9 Y8 l
"The company will reject any application that doesn't have a cover letter attached."

Another word carrying the similar meaning is "decline," which appears to be more polite. For instance, my request to have a two-month vacation in the summer was declined.
