In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:
8 A1 Q9 G# O8 V9 z  ^& E6 G
4 a- R, V/ s* b! Q  M" h"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."5 T) K/ N+ p* }- ~
  T* ]+ a1 N7 [& l% z5 u
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."& h( O) n! c/ K% y6 a8 M

6 `) D% h0 g9 h- p0 {" yIn 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:
' ?2 S1 q+ A8 y- U7 E5 k5 w+ ]- X2 L, M7 `
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
0 H* {; ^% M$ W; q* n- b# k) v' S/ w7 z/ H  B
"He rejected my idea."
' U% r: Q' h: P

. f$ a+ z2 e( U0 Q* z8 M0 y
) x; R; z1 `2 X- i, m: ?- qSome other differences that come to mind:
1 ]4 @' m! T" A) [1 A4 {
9 K/ r& D6 X1 C$ q"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
( C$ |9 [% t4 n' ]0 w9 h
# X0 h/ j3 v+ e( {8 |6 `7 r9 d" J! R4 F"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
) t' l3 [# E! a. V! Z! b+ m) K( l2 C# _3 @5 p3 {* ^7 b
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.

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.
