In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:5 |/ b+ t' o4 L. E9 G
: m, S9 ~& {1 ]7 o3 @9 {
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
8 U6 o, H0 x8 g. D3 h0 I: d" v3 f0 O! O
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."! h' l5 Q# L5 H( p. [+ L
" s; J8 @8 P6 N4 }, x1 G. W5 p# q
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:
( L; \- G% I7 x
! _- X7 Q) h; K( s! f# w) v"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
1 J3 G. f/ `& E5 Y3 u7 G7 u) L: e% c
"He rejected my idea."
5 X3 D9 `8 b" s" |6 g- [0 C. w& d* w0 e) b
"I applied for the job but was rejected."
2 X+ E  }4 y2 F, u- N  h! V9 W$ P, \8 G0 f" f; v& q6 u! W
Some other differences that come to mind:( S7 l' p2 ]; \9 G9 E( S- `8 @
+ d/ `% u# D5 E1 n
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
& }1 K8 V. O0 k* l7 D; A
( e# @& G! W. W3 y, k" A& W7 X"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.4 {) j1 W) {; f& n% }% R
# {& W; J4 @1 k$ P  g" o
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

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.
